Date Night in Indy

After a day of packing we discovered the best bargain in town - dinner and a movie at the Indiana Museum of Art. To take full advantage we joined the museum (a single $45 membership allows one to bring a guest to everything). The evening's film was Criss Cross, a 1949 film with Burt Lancaster ($5/ticket). It was preceded by a Pepe Le Pew Cartoon, Scent-Imental Romeo - not meant for children to watch on Saturday morning.

We started with dinner at the museum's Nourish Cafe. Doug had beef brisket over rice for $4.5. I had a chick pea and sausage soup with 1/2 salad for $8. The salad had amazing ingredients - including figs, artichokes, and feta cheese. Doug was starving so he also ordered a pepperoni pizza ($.450) and a brownie. Both came home with us. I mentioned the prices because we were amazed and pleased when we saw the size of our soup bowl and the quality of the salad.

I had assumed that the audience would consist of people of a certain age. But instead we noticed that people of all ages have found their way to an inexpensive night on the town.
