Carmel
Carmel is what happens when a Hamilton County suburb decides roundabouts are a personality. The Palladium hosts touring acts, the Monon Trail moves runners and strollers in equal measure, and Midtown keeps adding patios that fill on Thursdays. Dates here lean polished: a Center for the Performing Arts show, dinner at Anthony's Chophouse or Vivante, a walk through Carmel City Center. The Arts and Design District handles the daytime version with galleries and the Museum of Miniature Houses. It is suburban, deliberately so, and the dating scene rewards anyone willing to plan past a chain restaurant on Range Line.
