Romantic Indiana Getaways Satisfy the Heart and the Stomach
Part One
By Carole Witsken
Bonge's serves good beers and wine, but no liquor. Hours are Tuesday through Thursday, 4:30 to 9 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 4:30 to 10 p.m. Reservations are only accepted for groups of 10 or more.
Couples who find themselves too stuffed to drive home might want to look into staying overnight at Plum's Retreat Bed & Breakfast, located in nearby Anderson. The beautiful 1892 Queen Anne Victorian-style home offers rooms ranging from $70 to $120 per night. Evening snacks plus a full breakfast are included.
Another great Indiana restaurant located just east of Indianapolis is Carnegie's, A Place to Eat, in Greenfield (so named because it occupies the bottom level of the town's original Carnegie library).
An Indiana native, owner/chef Ian Harrison started his career at a restaurant in Florence, Italy, then worked for Benvenuti, a now-defunct upscale Italian restaurant in Indianapolis, followed by Fletcher's (see below) when it was in downtown Indianapolis. He changes the menu seasonally and has daily specials. He calls hismenu "American innovative with Italian flair."
