Great info, as always Ashley! I didn’t realize your boyfriend went. That was cool. Or maybe you brought back a leftover goody box for him.
Yep, he got to taste my leftovers!
Wow you found some seriously good spots, I am very sorry I missed out on vegan gelato – never had it and am so curious! I really want the fries with seitan bacon and cheese – post diet of coure, but I want them!
I did but I missed so many too! The fries were amazing! How is the diet going!?

You got a few restaurants from Broad Ripple, but you missed the Brewpub! http://www.broadripplebrewpub.com/from-the-kitchen/ They offer Vegetarian and Vegan options that are quite tasty!
I hope you get a chance to visit Indy again!
I know I missed several! I was running around like a crazy woman trying to fit it all in haha. I’ll definitely be back again and will definitely check out the Brew Pub’s options! 🙂
