Unless you have seen the movie hoosiers, you might think of Indiana as a place of endless farm fields. If you've seen the movie, then you might think that Indiana is a land of basketball obsession and endless farm fields.

Indianapolis, however, is a surprisingly cosmopolitan city. Hip neighborhoods like Mass Ave push this point home. Aside from boutiques and indie record shops, the neighborhood is full of art and food (edible art if you like).

On September 8th, Mass Ave hosts the surprisingly named Taste of Mass Ave. This food and music (and beer) extravaganza highlights the best Indianapolis has to offer.
