Mass Ave

arts corridor · 46204

Mass Ave is the diagonal that downtown Indianapolis pretends it planned. Five blocks of theatres, galleries, late bars, and the kind of brunch spots where the wait staff have visible tattoos and opinions on natural wine. The Cultural Trail threads through it, which means cyclists, scooters, and dog-walkers all negotiating the same brick. Date-wise it does the heavy lifting: Bru Burger or Bluebeard for dinner, the Athenaeum or District Theatre for something afterward, a nightcap at Chatterbox or the Inferno Room if jazz or tiki is the mood. Downside, parking is its usual self, and Friday nights skew loud and twenty-something.
