Where to eat in Fletcher Place: Rook   501 Virginia Ave. Suite 101 | 317.737.2293 | Price: $$   It’s no secret that there isn’t a great selection of Filipino restaurants in Indy. So when I heard of an Asian fusion restaurant in Fletcher Place serving a Filipino-influenced menu, I jumped on it. Rook serves Asian street food-inspired eats in a casual yet modern space. 90s hip-hop typically plays, and a picture of Tupac hangs in the women’s restroom. The kitchen is open and if you sit at the bar, you can watch your food being prepared. The menu’s Filipino inf ..read more

Where to eat downtown: Broken English Taco Pub 141 S. Meridian St. | 317. 362.0072 | Price: $$   Nestled on the corner of Georgia and Meridian Streets is Broken English Taco Pub, a spunky taqueria transplanted from Chicago. Piñatas hang from the ceiling, colorful street art covers the walls and red booths are tucked throughout the space. It’s a great spot to stop for margaritas and a quick bite to eat with friends.   The food menu is small but filled with tasty options. If you’re in the mood to share (which I’ll admit is rare for me when it comes to food), try the Nacho Momma’s Nacho ..read more

Let’s start with a soft ball: “Why did you join Circle City Connect?” That’s a great question fake interviewer. My name is Kyle Speckman and I am the current Social Director and future Vice President of Circle City Connect (C3). I joined Circle City Connect in May of 2017. Around that time, I had started to ponder my existence (as we all do in our 20’s - 30’s…), and thought a lot about my mark on Indy. As someone who has lived in Indianapolis my entire life, I found it somewhat sad how little I felt I had given back to the city that has undoubtedly shaped me.  Kyle, third from right, sta ..read more

 Let me start off with  some background on myself and why I joined Circle City Connect (C3) and then we’ll talk about the future. Full disclosure - I was looking to get involved with a young professional’s (YP) organization because my work highly encouraged it. But, I didn’t want to settle. I wanted to get involved in one that shared my values and goals. After some in-depth research, I couldn’t manage to find an organization that gave me that excited butterflies-in-my-stomach feeling about getting involved. Along with the lack of excitement, I was also anxious and nervous about meeti ..read more
