Tour and Tea in French Lick

by nwiltrout April 11, 2012

Some of my most treasured moments with my mom involve the two of us sitting around and having a long chat while drinking a cup of tea. But I’ve never experienced the long-standing British tradition of an authentic “afternoon tea.” So I loved reading about the Mother’s Day Tour and Tea in French Lick. On May 12, [...]

Wine and Canvas Art Classes

by nwiltrout February 20, 2012

Last weekend, I took a much-needed mom’s day out and headed to a local Columbus pub. No, my newborn didn’t drive me to drink. Instead, I had a chance to enjoy an afternoon art class courtesy of Wine and Canvas. At a Wine and Canvas event, you spend several hours with friends (or show up solo [...]

Ghyslain Richmond Bistro and their Pan Bagnat Nicois Sandwich (#Super46)

by jwtourism January 3, 2012

Ghyslain Richmond Bistro is a not-so-hidden gem on the far east-side of Indiana, right in downtown Richmond. While you’d expect to find an upscale restaurant like Ghyslain in Indianapolis or other major metropolitan areas, the fact that it’s situated in downtown Richmond (population: just under 40,000) makes it all the more charming.

I can’t remember when I became a regular tea drinker, but at some point along the way I realized that I would just never develop a taste for coffee.

Founded in Noble County in 1835, Ligonier is known more for its Jewish heritage than German being called Little Bethlehem at the height of its settlement. If your in the area, I would suggest [...]
