Indianapolis is often seen as a vibrant melting pot in the upper Midwest. This city boasts a rich array of museums and universities, and it's surprisingly easy to navigate on foot, especially considering it started as a mere square mile. Since its founding in the 1820s, Indianapolis has seen significant growth, fueled by waves of immigrants and veterans returning from overseas conflicts, leading to a diverse and thriving food scene.
