    No Mean City Initiative – Cultural Destinations

    http://nomeancity.com/

    Indianapolis natives and immigrants alike have contributed their own spirits to the city, creating a place that is full of life. From art to international cuisine, swing dancing to (yes) racing, Indianapolis offers diverse cultural and lifestyle options. Thanks to Indiana’s rich agricultural heritage and the dedication of urban farmers within city limits, Indianapolis offers a food scene as diverse as the people that call it home. No Mean City aims to highlight these offerings and contributions, providing a lens for others hoping to engage and enjoy distinctly unique Indianapolis treasures.
