Hear us out: Caesar salad, french fries, and a martini. The combo has been called “the perfect meal” by The Washington Post and lauded by TikTokers across the world searching for the perfect marriage of textures and temperatures.

Here’s where you can find your own pairing in Indianapolis so you can judge for yourself.

1933 Lounge | Pair your meal with the Robin Lychee martini, made with Glendalough Rose gin, lychee, lemon, and a dash of bitters.

Union 50 | This restaurant spices up its salad with herbed goat cheese, giardiniera, and anchovies, while its fries are available in truffle oil, sea salt and parsley, and duck fat and rosemary varieties.

The Brass Ring Lounge | If you’re hungry for something a little more substantial than a salad, opt for a chicken caesar wrap here instead. Bonus: It’s under $10.

Meridian Restaurant & Bar | Enjoy your meal, made with fresh local ingredients, on the cozy patio.

The HC Tavern + Kitchen | This caesar salad is jazzed up with grilled lemon and herb crostini croutons.

If your ideal fall day includes pumpkin picking, winding through a corn maze, and maybe a funnel cake (or two) — same.

That’s where Lark Ranch comes in.

Opening on Saturday, Sept. 20, this fun-for-all-ages seasonal favorite is back with all the fall must-dos, including:
  • A U-Pick pumpkin patch
  • Classic amusement rides
  • A real train ride
  • Fair food for days
  • And more
Plus, rumor has it there are a few new surprises this year. Want a sneak peek? Follow along on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok.

Hoosiers can choose from three locations near Indy — Greenfield, Loogootee, or Lanesville — each just a short drive away.

Ready to visit? Grab a season pass (good at any location) or daily tickets. Bonus: Use code Indy at checkout to save $2 per ticket online.

Heads up: Lark Ranch wraps up after October, so grab your pumpkins (and your ride tickets) while you can.
Soak in the season
