The restaurant landscape Downtown Indianapolis has changed dramatically over the last year with widespread closures. As the majority of the community continue working from home, this has put lunch rush foot traffic on pause, leading to more and more restaurants opening for dinner only. While this may be the case, there are still an array of lunch options that exist. Here are a few suggestions if you’re looking:
