Indianapolis offers a wide variety of opportunities to visitors and locals alike. Not only is it the official amateur sports capital of the U.S. Indy also offers a number of wonderful places for children. The Children's Museum is the largest in the world and offers many wonderful activities for children and adults, and that’s only the beginning. Indiana's capital, once home to many of America’s early carmakers until Detroit overtook it, the city was left with the legacy of a rectangular test-track, et voila - the Indianapolis 500 was born. For two days during the last week of April, admission is free to the Indy 500 Speedway to watch the race cars test out the track and their cars in preparation for the Indy 500. A little known fact often taken advantage of by the residents of Indy. However there's a lot more to this city than screaming wheels - as its museums, architecture and James Dean memorial prove. For example, the labels of The Amateur Sports Capital of the World, and The Racing Capital of the World, have both been applied to Indianapolis. The city has hosted the 1987 Pan American Games, both Men's and Women's NCAA Basketball Tournaments, the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard, the United States Grand Prix (2000-2007). However Indy is perhaps still most famous for the annual Indianapolis 500. Even if you’re not a racing fan, you will be astounded by the magnitude of this Memorial Day race. The enormous attendance at both the Indianapolis 500 and the Allstate 400 makes them the largest two single day sporting events in the world, with well over 250,000 fans in attendance at each. For attention to urban planning and beautification Indianapolis is one of the best in America boosting the second most monuments inside city limits, behind only Washington D.C. Indianapolis, also called the Circle city or simply Indy, is also famously the home for the Indianapolis Colts, the IndyStar newspaper and much, much more. Those lucky enough to live in Indianapolis can relish in the fact that there is never a dull day in this great city. A city where people all around the world come to rest their feet or see some of the worlds greatest sports.

Ruths Chris Steak HouseOne can only expect the best at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. As Ruth Fertel once said, "It's the sizzle that sets us apart from the stuffy, stodgy, old-line steak houses. You have a great steak at Ruth's Chris, but you also have a great time, and you always leave with great memories."

This is the place that showed the world how great a steak can be: carefully selected and aged for tenderness and then cut thick to ensure juiciness. Then, seared to perfection at 1800 degrees. Finally, seasoned simply with salt, black pepper and a touch of parsley. Topped with fresh butter that sizzles seductively on your plate, announcing the arrival of a great steak.

At Ruth's Chris, while steak is king, the royal family is large. Be sure to also try the Market Fresh Seafood selection, cooked to perfection. Or the popular Ahi Tuna Stack, seared rare, topped with Colossal lump crabmeat and served sizzling with red pepper pesto. There's even something for vegetarians. The Grilled Portobello Mushrooms - marinated Portobello mushrooms on fluffy garlic mashed potatoes with grilled asparagus, broccoli, tomatoes and sizzling lemon butter is sure to please your palette.

Fresh ingredients are at the core of Ruth’s Chris steakhouse and that philosophy extends from the kitchen to the wine cellar to the bar. So, enjoy a martini with your favorite vodka, whether that's Grey Goose, Armadale or Chopin. If you're a Scotch drinker, be sure to try the 25-year-old Macallan single malt. Of course, the restaurant also has the finest vintages from the world's greatest wineries, by the bottle or by the glass. At Ruth's Chris, your meal will always have the perfect accompaniment.

Clearly, Ruth’s Chris take their food seriously, but they’re also serious about making sure you have a good time. So you won't find the stodgy, uptight attitude you might find at other steak houses. So, feel free to laugh out loud, stay a while and experience the sizzle.

Indianapolis, the capital city of Indiana offers a wide variety of opportunities to visitors and locals alike. Not only is it the official amateur sports capital of the U.S. Indy also offers a number of wonderful places for children. The Children's Museum is the largest in the world and offers many wonderful activities for children and adults, and that’s only the beginning. Indiana's capital, once home to many of America’s early carmakers until Detroit overtook it, the city was left with the legacy of a rectangular test-track, et voila - the Indianapolis 500 was born. For two days during the last week of April, admission is free to the Indy 500 Speedway to watch the race cars test out the track and their cars in preparation for the Indy 500. Usually only the locals know this but now you can too. However there's a lot more to this city than screaming wheels - as its museums, architecture and James Dean memorial prove. For example, the labels of The Amateur Sports Capital of the World, and The Racing Capital of the World, have both been applied to Indianapolis. The city has hosted the 1987 Pan American Games, both Men's and Women's NCAA Basketball Tournaments, the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard, the United States Grand Prix (2000-2007).

Indianapolis, also called the Circle city or simply Indy, is also famously the home for the Indianapolis Colts, the IndyStar newspaper and much, much more. So the next time your thinking about getting away from it all think about Indianapolis, a city on the move.

Indiana is a quintessential Midwest state that embodies all the region stands for in terms of hospitable, patriotic, down-to-earth, hard-working, hard-playing, family-oriented Americans. If it’s good enough for a rocker like John Cougar Mellencamp, who has called Indian home most of his life, it’s good enough for the rest of us. Here, visitors can enjoy its many small towns, shop at family-owned stores, and dine at locally-owned-and-operated, one-of-a-kind restaurants, with food that is absolutely out of this world. But that’s not all. City slickers will love the city lights and nightlife of Indianapolis, particularly Broad Ripple, and maybe even catch an Indiana Pacers game. And if touring northwest Indiana, it’s only a hop, skip, and a jump, or for most a quick train ride, over to one of America’s finest and largest cities, Chicago Illinois. Given its proximity to this powerhouse city with its heavy Italian influence, it’s no wonder that many Indiana restaurants serve up tasty deep-dish pizzas, spicy Italian beef hoagies with your choice of sweet or hot peppers, savory sausages, flavorful pastas, and Chicago-style hot dogs. Wow! Its border with Lake Michigan, one of the five Great Lakes, offers residents and visitors alike a waterfront respite from everyday life, where they can while away the hours boating, fishing, waterskiing, swimming, or just taking a nice, relaxing stroll down the beach. It’s also home to both Purdue and Indiana University. And though we don’t quite know where the term originated, like they say in Indiana, “Go Hoosiers!”
