Moving to Indianapolis for 1 year for a dietetic internship. Where should I live? I'll have to drive around to lots of hospitals, but I like living in the city. I am 26 and enjoy live music and brew pub type places. I grew up in a college town, but the campus scene is generally gross to me, as I'm not single. I'm there for 1-year only, so I'll be renting. I'm looking for $500–$700 per month. [more inside]

IndyFilter: I am going to be in Indianapolis for an interview towards the end of next week. I will be in town for two evenings, and I am looking for things to do. Do you have any suggestions for places to visit, pubs to drink at, and restaurants that serve great Japanese, burritos, or pizza? I am 21 years old so I'm looking for places that draw a younger crowd, ideally young professionals. I've loved my time in college, but I am about ready to leave the college crowd behind. I am not a huge fan of clubbing, so if you can steer away from any of those in your recommendation, that would be appreciated. [more inside]
