Sucking across state lines.

Ahhh, the best laid plans. Leave Chicago early. Get to Indy early. Go somewhere and have a nice meal. Watch the ball game and grab a beer. Nice and relaxing.

Well, MOST of that actually happened, but the restaurant/bar recommendation we received was terrible. It wouldn't have been sooo bad if there wasn't a really nice place just across the street!! We actually asked them about the place across the street and they said this other place was better. I'm not sure what kind of world they live in, but clearly they haven't actually been to the place across the street. Unbelieveable.

I was able to hit the hot tub after we arrived and I feel pretty good. Early to bed and then up at 7 or so in the a.m. First game is at 10. All of the teams are from Indiana, which actually bodes well for us. Usually only good teams travel. If you suck, the last thing you want to do is spend several hundred dollars to go suck in another state!

I'm confused - did you go to both restaurants? How did you know that the one across the street was actually nicer than recommended?

Yep, we went to both places. We just went through the dining room and into the bar of the second place though. One drink and then headed across the street to the hotel.
