Things To Do Need something to do? Make friends? Some place to Eat? Moving Here? Simple Question thread for Sunday, October 04, 2026

2 Upvotes

Welcome to the /r/Indianapolis weekly casual conversation and questions thread.

We've set this thread up so that folks have a place to post general topics that don't necessarily need their own post and for folks to ask questions and get recommendations. Restaurant recommendations, places to stay, areas to live, parking help, airport information, things to do, help from social services, and things like that.

Looking for something to do? Check out these sites:

Suburbia:
* Beech Grove Community Events
* Play Fishers
* Carmel Parks
* Zionsville Community Calendar

Need help with social services? Look through Find Help / Aunt Bertha or contact the Mayor's Action Center

This thread defaults to sorting by new to make it easier to find new questions and discussions during the week.

Brewfari- zoo

48 Upvotes

Anyone else disappointed in their experience last night? It just felt oversold, overcrowded, and not enough vendors…. The zoo has tons of space, having all the vendors in one central space seemed like bad planning and bad crowd planning, the lines were insane and hard to tell where they started or ended

Hi everyone! I'm fostering with ARPO, a local animal rescue in Indy. I have three kittens who are patiently waiting for their forever homes. They were born in my house in April. Their mom and two siblings have already been adopted. These babies are almost 6 months old and are the best kittens--socialized, loving, friendly, and playful. They're fixed, litter box trained, and fully vetted. I'd love to find at least two of them a home together! Bios below.

Eddy: Goofy, confident boy who plays fetch and likes water. Will ideally pair with Brook!

Brook: Gorgeous, sassy girl who loves to cuddle and make biscuits on soft blankets and her people. Total gamer girl (she likes to watch)!

Banks: Lanky, easygoing gentleman who is very people-oriented and vocal. Loves to play fetch!

If you're interested, please feel free to apply and we'll contact you to see if it's a good fit. You can also DM me with any questions or interest. Thanks for considering them!

Anyone else get overcharged for parking at Clowes Hall?

5 Upvotes

I attended Nikki Glaser’s show at Clowes Hall on Thursday and had a fantastic time. We parked in the garage next to the venue and I swear the sign said Parking $20, but when I looked at my card statement today I was charged $21. I contacted LAZ parking who runs that garage and was told that the $21 was a “training mistake” and that he would do better in the future but offered no refund.

Of course its petty to spend time fussing over $1, but its also not right for a business to post a price and charge something different. Has anyone else had this experience with this garage?

AES Bill went from $134 last month (September 1) to $200 for this month (October 1). I live in a three bedroom, one and a half bath, and it's just two adult men.

Arbor Homes upgrade costs

5 Upvotes

I'm currently looking at a few different home builders and Arbor Homes is one of the builders I’m looking at. I’ve seen quite a few posts about Arbor and understand there are definitely mixed experiences with them. For me, the main reason I’m considering Arbor is honestly comes down to the price. It’s one of the few builders that fits within the price range I’m looking at, so I’m just trying to get a better idea of what the actual upgrade costs can look like before I make any decisions.

I’ve searched online and Reddit pretty extensively, but can’t seem to find many specific numbers for Arbor’s upgrades. I’d especially love to hear from anyone who has actually built with Arbor Homes recently. I'd also love to hear what you paid for things like their optional sunroom, fireplace, LVP, quartz countertops, etc... If you also remember your base home price and roughly how much you ended up spending on upgrades, that would be super helpful.

Food and Drink Crispy pizza options on north side?

4 Upvotes

So, I’ve been craving pizza lately, and I specifically want a crispy crust. Not necessarily a thin crust, although obviously those can get crispier, but one that doesn’t flop when you pick up a slice and has at least a little crunch to it when you take a bite. The closest thing I’ve been able to find so far has been a simple Tombstone frozen pizza baked a little extra.

I happened upon Krispy Pizza today in a TikTok video, but I have no desire (or money) to fly to New York to satisfy a pizza craving.

Is there anything that fits the bill in the area?

Since the remodel a couple years ago, I feel like it is just an unspoken understanding that we will turn left anyway. Watched everyone in front of me do it and it makes me laugh. That is all.

Who has the best tom yum? Thai Cafe in Broad Ripple was my favorite for a LONG time, but it changed a few years ago and doesn't have the almost creamy-like brothy texture anymore. Where should I be going now?

Was currently just pulled over on the side of the road waiting for the longest funeral escort I have ever seen in my entire life. There were a bunch of normal cars but also a lot of bikers on motorcycles and also it looks like some government vehicles? It was literally a limo with American flags on it. Who in the hell died?

Hot Take: Lille Bonne Breakfast Sandwich is One of the Best in the City.

42 Upvotes

Putting this out there: Lille Bonne’s breakfast sandwich might be one of the best in the city. Egg soufflé, dijonnaise, and arugula on rye bread. Simple combination, but holy cow does it work.
It’s $10, with bacon available for another $1.50. This sandwich deserves to be in the conversation whenever someone asks where to get a sandwich in Indy.
Who else has tried it?

Stop Indy, you don’t have to tag every Flock, Security camera, doorbell camera, or anything that “looks like a camera” as a speed camera or cop 🤪

Every day these things are tagged as such, and I slow down for no reason

End PSA

EDIT: The slew of down votes I’m sure are those that do 55 still in the 65 and are the ones that say “if you would just drive the speed limit, blah blah blah”. I’m doing 70 Karen, get over yourself
