On the cover are two ways of viewing Monument Circle, the modest central city park planned by Alexander Ralston, an assistant to Pierre LEnfant in the design of Washington D.C. The 1887 Sanborn map shows the park that remained from the citys founding in the 1820s until the current monument was begun in 1889. The location is re-expressed in a more recent image that shows the fountains and monument of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, which stand as the emblem of the cityThe Circle City or the Crossroads of America. (U.S. 40, the Old National Road, the primary U.S. East-West highway, and U.S. 31, Meridian St., a primary Midwest North-South Highway crossed at Washington and Meridian Streets in the center of Indianapolis.)

In the 1950s and 60s, Indianapolis was routinely referred to as nap-town, and downtown blightin the era of the decentered, perimeter, mall-culture city, facilitated by the National Defense Highway Act of 1956cut the city into parts and turned downtown, in the minds of some, into India-no-place by the 1980s. The downtown revival of the 1990s and beyond has allowed citizens to maintain and reclaim this ornate, yet modest, sitesomehow the flat river bed that Indianapolis occupies makes even its largest and tallest buildings take on a people-friendly scale.

The monument itself, completed in 1902, is in a style common in some European cities, with fountains that cascade over a series of falls and fountains in the shape of grand pianos. It is the expressive and romantic vision of German-born Bruno Schmitz, the foremost architect of national monuments in the late 19th century, brought to fruition. Its symbol system represents the dramatic arc of an operatic, even Wagnerian narrativea statement about sunrise and sunset, birth and death, home and away, family and country, slavery and freedom, war and peace. For decades, the monument was the tallest structure in the city.

The monument and its perfect-for-a-parade streetas we should suspecthave not been without controversy: they set in stone and bronze a visual rhetoric that expresses a formerly sanctioned version of dominant cultural power, idealized similarly in many cities on the American landscape. Atop the monument stands the sculpture of a female, named Victory. Victory over what? she begs us to ask. At or near its base are the slave and the family and the reputed heroes of the American and Indiana experience.

Monument Circle has been the site of some of the retrograde cultural and political expressions of the early 20th century, but it has also been used more progressively; at the height of the AIDS crisis, it was the scene of early Indianapolis Gay Pride celebrations. Moreover, it has been a place for more than a century of impromptu lunch meetings and annual fund raisers or weekend gatherings; holiday celebrations, including since 1962 The Worlds Largest [simplified, artificial, and mid-century inspired] Christmas Tree; the location of the Hilbert Circle Theatre, home of the Indianapolis Symphony; and the performative, massive, and iconic XLVI when Indianapolis hosted the Super Bowl in 2012.

On a clear afternoon no matter what time of year, climbing to the observation deck at the top of the monument (free, unless you cheat and take the elevator for $2.00), is a good way to burn some calories and see the central Indiana prairie in a whole new way. And in case you didnt notice, the Circle is incredibly photogenic: The monument always looks good on television and on the weband you, and your friends too, will look good in Monument Circle images posted on Facebook and Twitter, or stored in the secrecy of your phone or of your human memory.

Welcome to Indianapolis!As Chair of the local planning committee, Im thrilled to welcome you to a city notable for its walkable and lively downtown, plus thriving arts and cultural areas.

To that end, this guide, Hoosier Hospitality, will help you make plans to explore downtown and surrounding areas. Within these pages, youll find information about restaurants, museums, theater entertainment, and more. Youll also learn about special events weve planned including a pub crawl, a 5k fun-run, readings by local authors, and other fun happenings. Were excited to show off our city to those of you visiting. And we expect some of you locals will learn about places and happenings you werent even aware of!

Indy gained much national praise when we hosted the Super Bowl two years ago. In fact, the planning committee for that event was said to have set a bar subsequent Super Bowl planning committees might find difficult to meet. My committee and I hope to have set a similar bar for future 4Cs planning committees. I think this guide will show you weve done that.

Id like to personally thank Mark Latta, Chair of the Hospitality and Information Committee, for tirelessly using his knowledge of the city and connections with local establishments to help make your visit fun. Special thanks to several of his committee members: Mel Wininger who did an amazingly cool job of laying out this guide, Julie Freman who helped proofread, Rocky Colavito for finding our walkable eateries, Kevin McKelvey for mapping out our 5k run, and Olivia Gehrich for researching interesting places to visit.

Tracy DonhardtChair, Local Planning Committee

IntroductionWere excited to welcome the thousands of composition and communication educators, students and advocates to Indianapolis for the 2014 Conference on College Composition and Communication.

The Hoosier Hospitality Guide isnt meant to be an exhaustive resource to the citys amenitiesmany guides, especially those from Visit Indy, already accomplish this. Rather, weve attempted to assemble a curated list of recommendations and suggestions from the viewpoint of a local tour guide. Weve highlighted information on places and events that will add to your overall experience and allow you to make the most of your time here while also gaining a solid feel of Indianapolis.

Your time at CCCC 2014 is likely packed to the brim with sessions, meetings and events. Still, if there is one suggestion to make on what to do outside of the conference, its this: go walk along our Cultural Trail. Indys Cultural Trail will take you through a wide variety of districts and to an array of restaurants, museums, and art installations. For those who prefer to explore Indy more quickly, however, were happy to announce a partnership with Lyft, which will provide everyone $25 towards ridesharing transportation throughout Indianapolis (details on page 7).

Finally, well also be providing timely responses to your questions through our Twitter feed (@4Cindy2014) during the conference. Feel free to reach out to us through Twitter if you have a particular question about where to go, how to get there, or another concern, and well do our best to respond.

Have a fantastic time during 2014 CCCC

MapsWe are sure that most locating will be done by GPS and phone apps, which are pretty reliable in Indianapolis for finding your way if you know the name of the place where you are going.

The city is also peppered with helpful and colorful signage that indicate Cultural Districts. The JW Marriott is in the Indiana Ave. District. Inside it winds the Canal and White River State Park, and spread out in front of the JW Marriott is the Wholesale District. Mass. Ave., beyond Monument Circle, is a good walk away. Fountain Square, a mile and a half to the southeast, will require a cab or car, as will Broad Ripple Village, six miles to the north. Near downtown they are connected by the Cultural Trail and Broad Ripple can reached by the Monon Trail at the north end of the Mass Ave. district.

Online the nicest locator is an interactive map. For quick reference, the maps below can help you locate key streets and areas.

Paid Visitor Parking at IUPUI

Some of the lots and garages that offer paid parking are open 24 hours. All accept credit cards but few accept cash. There is no direct bus service from campus to the JW Marriott. Taking the bus involves two transfers. Visit Indygo for more information.

IUPUI parking rates:1 hour $3.002 hours $5.003 hours $6.00

4 hours $7.005 hours $8.006 hours $9.00

7 hours $10.008 hours $11.00

It is a 10-20 minute walk from the east end of IUPUI to the JWM. Pedestrians can cross the canal and walk past the State Museum or walk east on New York St. and turn right onto West St. Cutting through Military Park is also an option but we remind everyone to be safe if doing this at night.

Operation Pull Over (from WISH-TV new release) Starting Feb. 28, 2014 police began Operation Pullover, a statewide initiative involving extra patrols looking for drunk or otherwise dangerous drivers: Plan a safe way home before you go out. If you plan to drink, dont drive at all; leave your keys at home. Call a taxi or family member if you do need a ride. If you see a drunk driver, call police.

Operation Pullover runs through March 23.

Im in the mood for . . .A Antiques and collectibles: Make your way to the Midland Arts and Antiques Market (907 E. Michigan St. Just off the downtown I-70/I-65 inner-loop. Or in Fountain Square, a funky option, Flux.

Art: Indianapolis Museum of Art is a great museum and also free. Of course, downtown also has abundant public art. (See Museums below for current exhibitions.) Or see parts of the IMA collection at the Alexander Hotel, which features a top-notch restaurant, Cerulean, and upstairs bar, Platt 99..BBarbeque: Barbeque abounds in Indy, but three options rise above the rest: Judges Bbq & Juice Garden Smoothie Bar (2104 W. Michigan St.), Hanks Smoked Briskets (3736 W. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. St.), and Big Walts Wings & More (2311 E. 34th St.). Judges is closest to the JW Marriott, but all three are worth a trip.

Blues: An easy one: Slippery Noodle Inn, Indianas oldest bar, 15 min. walk to 372 S. Meridian St.

Picking up a 6-pack of Indiana brew: Many of Indianas award winning breweries sell 6-packs in their tasting rooms. However, both Crown Liquors (150 N. Delaware) and Kahns Fine Wine and Spirits (25 N. Pennsylvania) each offer a deep selection of Hoosier brewed beverages. Or go to the source, Sunking, (135 N. College Ave.), Flat 12, (414 N. Dorman St.) and Black Acre (6320 E. Washington St.) are some good choices.

A great burger: Punch Burger (137 E. Ohio St.) and Bru Burger Bar (410 Mass. Ave.) both make fantastic burgers. However, for Indys best burger, youll need to head over to Workingmans Friend (234 N. Belmont Ave). Go ahead and pick up a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich while youre there. CChocolate: Closest and good: Chocolate Caf on the Monument Circle. Hands down best and worth the extra distance? The aptly named Best Chocolate in Town on the east end of Mass Ave.

The closest place to eat outside of JW Marriott: Head over to the Downtown Marriottthere are more restaurants on the ground floor there. Loughmillers Pub & Eatery (pronounced Lock-millers) is tucked away off 301 W. Washington St. and is open until midnight. If its Friday lunch, head to Georgia Street for Foodtruck Friday. And of course, TGI Fridays is right next door.

Cocktails: Indy has experienced a surge in the prohibition style, as well as the mixologists needed to properly craft each one. Luckily, youve many options here: The Libertine (38 E. Washington St.) is a 13 min. walk away. Ball & Biscuit (331 Mass. Ave.) is also a solid choice and is about a 20 min. walk or 3 min. drive from the hotel. Newcomer Liberty Street (653 Mass. Ave.) offers a fantastic selection of historical cocktails within a 25 min. walk or 5 min. drive. Dont miss Platt 99 in the Alexander Hotel (Delaware and South).

Coffee: If the line for the Starbucks at the JW Marriot is too long, head through the Skywalk to the Downtown Marriott Starbucks (first floor). Locally owned and certifiably awesome Bee Coffee Roaster is close by (201 S. Capitol Ave). Also keep your eyes open for Hubbard and Cravens locations and products around town.

Cold medicine or a toothbrush: The closest pharmacy is about a 10 minute walk from the JW Marriott. CVS is located at 175 N. Illinois St. DA greasy spoon diner: The opposite of gourmet, Peppy Grill is an Indianapolis institutionperfect after you leave the bar. Open 24 hourstry the sour cream fries and have a piece of coconut cream pie if theres any left. (1004 Virginia Ave. in Fountain Square).

A quiet dinner with a fantastic view: The Eagles Nest, located at 1 S. Capitol Ave in the Hyatt Regency Indianapolis, features a rotating restaurant and lounge, if you can get a reservation.ELots of ethnic food options in one area: Head northwest to Lafayette Rd. and 38th St. Great Chinese cuisine, including dim-sum, at Szechwan Garden, which easily accommodates large groups. For a full round up of options, visit Indy Ethnic Food.FFarm to fork dining: Bluebeard in the Fountain Square, on Mass. Ave., Black Market and R Bistro (recognized with a snail of approval), and 1913 Restaurant in the Warehouse District. 1913 is closer, but any of the other three would be a highlight of a trip to Indy. Menus change weekly or daily.

Fresh food: The Indy Winter Farmers Market at City Market, Saturday from 9a.m.-12:30 p.m.

Food trucks: Food Truck Friday, twitter and map, on Georgia Street. 11-2 Friday, March 21. You can take the streets or the Skywalk. GSome grocery items: Marsh (sometimes referred as OMalias), 320 N. New Jersey St. 317-262-4888; 5 minutes by car, 25 minutes by foot.

Buying a unique gift or souvenir: Silver in the City (434 Mass. Ave.), in the heart of Mass. Ave., sells an assortment of gifts, jewelry housewares, cards, and clothingmany locally made.

Golf: South Grove Golf Course (1800 W. 18th St.) is about a 10 minute drive away. More tee times around the city, weather permitting!HHaving a drink in Vonneguts favorite bar: Red Key Tavern (5170 N. College Ave.), a 12 min. drive. Theres no other bar quite like the Red Key. Youll understand why this was a favored watering hole of Vonneguts once you step inside. IIce skating at the Pan Am Pavilion 201 S. Capitol Ave. 317-925-4423JJazz: If you like your jazz up close and personal and a little gritty, check out the Chatterbox Jazz Club (435 Mass. Ave.); its the sound of Mass Ave. If you prefer a little more distance between you and the stage as well as a full menu, head towards the Jazz Kitchen (5377 N. College Ave.). Both are on the #17 IndyGo bus route.KA kosher-style corned-beef sandwich as large as my head: Shapiros (808 S. Meridian St.) has been serving it up since 1905and the pastrami is good, too. The 20 min. walk or 3 min. drive from the hotel is worth it. LA light, but delicious breakfast, brunch, or lunch: Caf Patachou, (225 W. Washington St.) in the Simon headquarters building across from the statehouse on Washington St.MA really good martini: In addition to the great cocktail bars listed above, add Olives in the Omni.

Ridiculously good cured meats and fancy cheeses Goose the Market (25th and Delaware) and where it is made: Smoking Goose (407 Dorman St.) across from the Flat 12 Bierwerks. Its the kind of stuff youll want to take home.

Some Mall food: Circle Centre Mall, around the street level and in the food court upstairs.

The taste of Mexican food: La Parada, a taco truck on W. Washington St. near Belmont; La Margarita in Fountain Square serves excellent tex-mex. Bakersfield, swanky for after work drinks and tacos, is on the south end of Mass Ave. Most of the better options are a drive, including highly recommended, Guanajuato, inside a Mexican grocery; of the three locations, only the one at 38th and Georgetown offers the meat table (tablita), great food for a group.NNature: Luckily, you are next door to White River State Park, Indianas only urban state park. White River State Park spreads across 250 acres of green space and contains the southwest end of a 1.5 mile canal.

Noise: For Live Music check Nuvos current edition. For street noise: Illinois at Washington.OAn omelet: if not Caf Patachou (225 W. Washington St.), try Le Peep (301 N. Illinois St.).PPacers Basketball: The Bulls are in town March 22. It will be a sell-out, but moderately priced tickets are often available last minute. Prices currently are $39 to $1200 for this game.

A pizza: Napolese has that crispy crust and bright salad to accompany it (30 S. Meridian). Brozinnis food truck has the best flavored crunchy-chewy crust topped with Boars Head meats.

A breaded pork tenderloin sandwich: Ah breaded pork tenderloinusually its just loin really, the national sandwich of Indiana. Nearly every bar and diner in the city has one, so many variations of the breaded tenderloin abound, and to get you started on your tenderloin conquest nearby, try Loughmiller's Pub & Eatery (301 W. Washington St.) or Coachs Tavern (28 S. Pennsylvania St.). Taking a drive? We recommend Mug nBun (5151 W. 10th St.), Gaslight Inn (2280 S. Meridian St.).QA really quick cheap meal, but it can take some time to walk there: On South St. are White Castle and Arbys.

Quiet: The small park in front of the Westin across from the convention center behind the Simon building. Or try the canal, which offers still water below the street level.RLeather jackets, PBR, and loud rock-a-billy: Hillbilly Happy Hour, Fridays at 7:30 at the historic Melody Inn 3826 N. Illinois, 10 min. drive. SWell-prepared, high quality seafood: The best is The Oceanaire: nice oyster selection, great fin and shell stew, lobster your way, and whole arctic char (30 S. Meridian St.), a 10 min. walk

Sushi: Mikado is the best downtown (148 S Illinois St.), a 10 min. walk.

A great steak and a shrimp cocktail with peerlessly hot and fresh cocktail sauce: The legendary and historic St. Elmo Steakhouse (127 S. Illinois) is only a 10 min. walk.

Soda fountain: Rocket Fizz is on Monument Circle, a 10 min. walk. TTable-top shuffleboard: Ralstons Drafthouse, (635 Mass. Ave.)also has a great tap selection. A 5 minute drive or 25 minute walk.

Tapas: BARcelonas Tapas (201 N. Delaware) 15 minute walk.

Tea: L.S. Ayres Tea Room at Indiana State Museum across Washington Street or make a reservation for afternoon tea at the Canterbury Hotel.UUnderground duckpin bowling (Atomic) or take the antique elevator to the antique alleys upstairs (Action) at the building in Fountain Square Theatre Buildingyou might need reservations.

Under the radar: Theres Tavern on South near the foot of Lucas Oil Stadium.

Unusual restaurant design: A spare urban catastrophe, it might have been a tornado and it might have been the birds, but whatever happened, Rook is worth a visit on the way to Fountain Square (719 Virginia Ave.), and the Banh mi is great, too.VVamps Try the burlesque at White Rabbit in Fountain Square. Oh, you meant shoes? Try Stouts on Mass. Ave. WJust wandering around and discovering Indy: Luckily, our urban trail system is great for this. Directly to the north of the JW Marriott, the Cultural Trail offers a few options in pedestrian discovery. Walk west to the secluded White River Trailhead or follow the Cultural Trail east to connect to Mass. Ave. and Fountain Square sections of the trail. Maps and public art abound throughout the trail system. XXcite: Laser tag and other family gaming fun (6155 E. 86th St.) 317-585-1895.YYats! Cajun plates, excellent price, comfort food in a snazzy new Yats! location at Mass. Ave.s northeast end. ZA zoo. The Indianapolis Zoo is just around the bend on W. Washington St. RestaurantsA guide like this one cannot approach the convenience and expertise that is provided by folks who know the Indianapolis restaurant scene as a personal or professional passion. Not being listed here is merely about the number of places to eat right in and around the hotels! And we have not included excellent places more than a few minutes drive. Google searches for these guides or for specific restaurants lead to menus, excellent reservation services, and walking or driving directions.

More on the Pub Crawl.

First of all, we would appreciate it if you could stop by Thursday or Friday at the registration/hospitality area in the exhibition area to let us know if you are interested in the crawl. We will have a sheet to sign to gauge interest. Some sense of the numbers will greatly aid us in making arrangements.

Then, well all meet at the Skywalk on the second floor of the JWM. Please plan to leave from there at 5 p.m. Well head toward the Indianapolis City Market and from there we will meet up at the Tomlinson Tap Room. Well then head up Delaware to the southwest end of Mass. Ave.

We have not been able to secure a van or bus (up to this point). Some may prefer to cab or carpool over, as the walk will take upwards of 15 minutes, for the briskest and thirstiest walkers. Making arrangements to meet up again after the crawl is also a good idea or be prepared to share a cab with fellow crawlers.

We will make every attempt to be at the locations at the time designated, so if you prefer to join us along the way, you may. Be patient if there are stragglers. (If the group is large enough, we will divide off.)

We are ending at the Rathskeller, in a building connected to Vonneguts grandfather, an architect. We will pass by the mural reproduced on the front side of this page, too. Photo ops are obligatory, or at least allowed. The Keller Bar is the less expensive side of the Athenaeums restaurants; it offers very nice German-American food, including a schlachtplatte and wonderful frikadellen. After the pub crawl, we thought some bread and a Warsteiner might be nice.

It is Indiana, and we could have inclement weather of several varieties. If it is too cold for you or if there is a severe weather warning, meet in the lobby for an alternative or alternate event. Luckily the weather forecasters so far are saying well have temps in the 50s or 60s even. If you signed up and wonder what is up, just come by the desk and we will give you the plan, up to no later than half an hour before the event.

If you wish to continue crawling Mass. Ave. there are places you can go back to or you can forge onward into the Indiana night.

Up the street are many more interesting spots, and we wanted to include some of them, but the walk for everyone is just too much; in fact we will just walk on by a couple that deserve our business, too. We invite you to stay on Mass. Ave. and to explore, but please dont miss your plane, I have only one spare room.

Mooresvilles Gravity Hill Mooresville's famous Gravity Hill (near Magnetic Acres) is an optical illusion, but it is a convincing one. If one were to put their car in neutral at the "bottom" of the hill (or place a ball in the road, for the safety-conscious), the hill will immediately start to pull it "up" - in the wrong direction, according to our old friend gravity. E. Keller Hill Rd., Mooresville, IN, 46158 (D) 30 min.

NightlifeCabs or Lyft back to the hotels are recommended, especially after midnightmany of these venues require a drive to get there, too. Restaurants with excellent cocktails and wine lists that are provided above are not all listed here. Also see the Events, Pubscrawl and 4Cs Pub Crawl, in this guide.

Heres a category that needs best of guidance to sort out the city: and as the last word on all things cultural, Indianapolis Monthly has its best list; and as the last word on all things cultural (was that said already?), Nuvo has its best list. Their lists will take you all over the city, including Broad Ripple, which, owing to its distance from Downtown, is not particularly well-represented in this guide.

These are meant to strike your fancy and offer one or two (or maybe three) options. All are welcoming to everyone, gay or straight, northern or southern, eastern or western, city mouse or country mouse, even though the clientele may strike some as bent in some direction, one way or another.

Lobby Bars: In the JW Marriott, the Lobby Lounge gets thumbs up from just about everyone, earning a place on Indianapolis Monthlys list. Other hotels with great lobby bars: the Omni has Olives and Shelby Suites has Imbibe in Fountain Square.

Gender performance: As we know its all around us, but on legitimate stagesor at least sanctioned onesin Indianapolis, two spots make their points most clearly: Talbott Street for drag (Saturday night recommended), White Rabbit Cabaret for burlesque. The club-goers themselves have genders and identities to perform and nothing performs, here, like the crowds at 501 Eagle or Gregs (Fridays the night here). And better yet, the Metro, where all the genderstwo is not enoughfind themselves together Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sundaythe bar looks the same the but the clientele is always changing. (Check out Tini, next door!) With a martini and sushi this happens up Mass. Ave. at 45 degrees.

(If you are getting the idea that Mass. Ave. has good nightlife options, you would be right. From after work to late or early if its not a school night. Thats why we are staging the 4Cs Pub Crawla pull-out flyer is in this guidetthere.)

Nonetheless, near the JW Marriott are several other stools and booths and rails at which to sit or stand. For dancing, the most highly regarded is Ike and Jonesys; for that Irish Pub, its the Claddaugh; for an uber-light show and beautiful people, it might be 6 Lounge. Kilroys gets a lot of Indiana Hoosiers support, as the Indianapolis version of the Bloomington original.

For live music, however, nothing in the area matches the Slippery Noodle Inn, with two stages starting at 9:00 p.m. every Friday and Saturday night. The oldest bar in the state is routinely in the top 20 blues bars nationwide. Consult this weeks NUVO, for the best information on other live music.

A slippery slope narrative will follow; it is not an enthymeme, as there is no shared belief, or proof: Perhaps, you think all that gender and performance stuff is hermeneutically irrelevant. Perhaps you are looking for the brew, for PBR to Chimay as a controlled part of an identity construct. For the chillax experience head to one of these, with a local citizen if possiblewere chill here, mostly: Keller Bar, Mass. Ave. Pub, Scottys downtown, Old Point, for starters.

But then there is the vine, noble pursuits and such: St. Elmos wine list is unmatched in the city, but all the bars associated with steak, Capital Grille,try Velocity across the lobby for a less ambitious selectionMortons, Ruths Chris or seafood, Oceanaire, can surely offer you a glass worthy of the bottle you order up. Check hours, though, they are not all open late.

Beyond that, I think you can see where this is going, there is the cocktail, the original, the Sazerac, and the martini; their pre-post-current Prohibition-inspired cousins are well-represented within the Indianapolis restaurant/bar scenes. If there is repetition as nightlife, we hope you will believe that those mixologists are particularly good at it: the Libertine, the Ball and Biscuit, Nicky Blaines, Imbibe, 1933, and every other cool bar at any cool location in a hotel or restaurant around town.AA and NA Meetings

Your 4Cs VolunteersA great many English faculty and students helped plan this convention for you. These volunteers, who teach and go to school at several universities in the area, have contributed in a number of ways. Some have worked on this amazingly cool and useful guide; others have helped plan, map out, and coordinate the events described within these pages. Still others are working behind the registration counters, relieving exhibitors for lunch, and ensuring the session rooms have functioning equipment.

When you see one of these helpful volunteers all are wearing brightly colored volunteer ribbons be sure to thank them for helping to make your experience in our city fun, hassle-free, and worthwhile.
