I'm talking to you moms and dads of little kids. Enough with the Happy Meals and considering restaurants that hand out toys fine dining. Devour Downtown is back for its summer run August 10-23rd.Book that babysitter and make plans to eat at a real grown up restaurant, no sloppy second chicken nuggets at these joints.

Devour downtown started in 2005 as Indy Restaurant Week and has since grown to twice a year lasting for two weeks both in the summer and in the winter. You could eat at a new restaurant every night in downtown Indianapolis for as little as $30 (plus tax and gratuity) for the two of you. And this isn't just a plate of appetizers, these are three course meals from some of the best restaurants Indianapolis has to offer.

You know the ones I'm talking about, the ones where the grown ups sip wine and talk theater while you walk by with your stroller and sippy cup talking Tigger. Devour Downtown gives us weary parents who don't get out much an excuse to go downtown and go on a date. A REAL DATE. WITH REAL FOOD. I'm surprised that none of my friends ever make it a point to go downtown on a date. Downtown Indianapolis after dark is not something to shy away from, I dare say downtown is romantic.

Make your reservations for a babysitter and dinner at one of the dozens of participating restaurants now. GO. NOW.
