What questions do you have about the Circle City? | Photo by INDYtoday team
If you spend any time on Reddit, then you already know: Naptown is anything but sleepy. The subreddit r/indianapolis is one of our favorite places to mine for story ideas, like these recent hot questions that we have the answers to.
u/BananaBoatExpress asked: Where can I find red bean mochi in the greater Indianapolis area?
Like our fellow Reddit users, we only know of one restaurant that sells fresh red bean mochi — Cafe Korea. You can also try patbingsu (Korean shaved ice with red beans) at Sisters. If all else fails, you can get refrigerated or frozen red bean mochi packs at Saraga or One World Market.
u/teavol inquired: Where can I find a place within a 3-4 hour drive that has a nice resort style pool?
French Lick Springs Hotel and West Baden Springs Hotel both have sparkling pools with cafe + bar offerings. If you’re looking for a pool to utilize just for the day, check out Resort Pass, which helps you book amenities at nearby hotels without needing to purchase an overnight stay.
