Saints at Colts - who else is going?

Mates, we're staying at the Hotel Alexander (through Hotwire - why pay $280 when you can pay $119?) and probably having brunch at Milktooth - eager to try their famous bloody marys with the raw oyster on top.



OpenTabled a late-ish dinner at Cerulean on Saturday night - looks like Indy is starting to pop with locally sourced restaurants and upscale spots for craft cocktails. Platt 99 (in house libations spot within the Alexander) will probably do for a round, but anxious to try Libertine as well after dinner.



Libertine: above. Cerulean for dinner: below



Any other suggestions are welcome - doesn't look like there's a ton of options pregame, just the typical "everybody wearing jerseys and drinking $8 Bud Lights" around the stadium - We'll probably opt instead for a go-cup bloody mary and a stroll around some of the more interesting hotels and buildings around downtown Indy. VisitIndy.com shows some cool walking tours of the city - the "Canal Walk" in particular looks decent: I might bring some sativa to smoke pregame so that I can cap myself at 2 or 3 cocktails for Sunday - going to face a 5 hour drive back to Milwaukee that evening and don't want to be too sloshed.

Go technology-free and just explore Downtown Indy. The Canal Walk, stretching north through White River state Park to 11th Street, serves the Downtown community as a waterside promenade for walkers, runners and bikers. Along the way, check out the beautiful sculptures and landscaping, as well as outdoor gardens near the Eiteljorg Museum.

I'm going to do my patented "wait until 90 minutes before kickoff to snag seats behind Saints bench on SeatGeek for cheap". Probably going to rock my new low-crowned Saints on-field cap that Matty Ice was sporting last night (obviously he was rocking the Falcons version) but it's still a good look for the game (I keep my bill flat, though).



Hope to see some fellow diehard ST'ers in Indiana next weekend.
