Things to Do
Take a Carriage Ride Around the Circle
There are no more romantic places in Indianapolis than the circle on Valentines Day. Carriage rides are a great way to spend some quiet time with your special someone. Grab dinner or a drink downtown before or after for an awesome Valentines Day!
Cook a “Better Than Eating Out” Meal at Home
Fighting the crowds on Valentines Day can be a drag. This year, do something different and stay home. Visit Moody’s Butcher Shop and pick up the ingredients for a homemade surf and turf! For a fraction of the cost of going out, you can get an awesome meal! Preparing the meal together is half the fun.
