Flying High at the Eagle’s Nest

by mbarnas January 30, 2011

This post was written by a Butler University student about their experience at one of 40+ restaurants involved in Devour Downtown – a prix-fixe way to experience some of Indianapolis’ best downtown restaurants twice a year. Check out all the posts written about Devour Downtown on the Indiana Insider Blog The Eagle’s Nest: a haven [...]

Bloomington’s Entertainment & Arts District (BEAD), Home to Unique Businesses in a College Setting

by mbarnas January 3, 2011

A last minute trip to visit friends at Indiana University—spontaneity at it’s finest. Friday afternoon rolls around and after a disappointing loss to Xavier Thursday night, my friends and I were ready to get out of the Butler bubble for a bit. My girlfriends had one destination in mind, the Acacia fraternity Christmas party, but [...]

Omni Elegance

by mbarnas December 21, 2010

My family was in town a few weeks ago for the Indianapolis Monumental Marathon, which my mother ran (I’m very proud). I’ve brought my family to stay in many Indianapolis hotels over the span of my college career. Everything from the Conrad to the Doubletree Inn. Knowing it would be a busy weekend, I used [...]

Immersed in the Christmas Spirit at Yuletide

by mbarnas December 18, 2010

What better way to kick off the holidays than with tap dancing Santas, a harmonica-playing magician and Broadway actors? No better way in my opinion. Our Travel & Tourism class visited the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra last Thursday evening to view the Duke Energy Yuletide Celebration. Being my first Yuletide and also my first trip to [...]

Frankey’s: An Anti-Holiday Shopper’s Dream

by mbarnas December 8, 2010

Do you despise mall crowds and overly-aggressive department store salespeople? Hate the way the perfume vendors heckle you into a sample of Givenchy’s newest scent that only makes you sneeze and your eyes water? Or perhaps it’s the racks and racks and more racks of clearance items that make you sweat just sifting through them. [...]

Culver, IN – Quaint Sophistication

by mbarnas November 20, 2010

Located just two hours north of the thriving metropolis of Indianapolis sits a quiet town half surrounded by Lake Maxinkuckee, and the other half by beautifully preserved country. The town of Culver is the typical small town to a T, but one visiting will find a uniqueness that few other small towns offer. I’ve been [...]

Discovering Warhol at the IMA

by mbarnas November 5, 2010

When I think Andy Warhol I think a few cool quotes that people sometimes put in the “favorite quotes” section of their Facebook profiles, I think of bright-colored portraits of Marilyn Monroe and, of course, pop art. But what is pop art, really? What is the artistic investigation that Andy Warhol immersed himself in during [...]

BARcelona Tapas: The Art of Sharing

by mbarnas October 23, 2010

Sitting bright and proud on the corner of Delaware and East Ohio streets, one will find BARcelona Tapas Restaurant, an exotic yet casual dining experience. A perfect match for advanced taste buds but also for those who like a little bit of everything, hence the non-traditional food delivery and encouragement to share plates. Speaking of [...]

Come on, Vogue

by mbarnas September 27, 2010

Let your body groove to the music. Sound familiar? Even Madonna would agree, there’s no shame in getting a group of pals together with one mission in mind– Retro Rewind. Every Wednesday night at 10 PM the Vogue theater, located in Broad Ripple, takes a ride in the DeLorean straight to the ’80s. A favorite [...]
