🌱 Indianapolis Restaurant Scene + Near East Side Shooting

Good morning, Indianapolis! It's Tuesday, so let's get you started with everything you need to know going on in town today.

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny. High: 59 Low: 35.

Here are the top three stories today in Indianapolis:

1. Indianapolis can expect to see some changes in the restaurant scene. In Broad Ripple, two new restaurants, a Vietnamese restaurant called Eating Fresh and The Avenue Coffeehouse and Café, are opening. The Egyptian Café and Hookah Bar on the same block will be moving to a bigger spot with a rooftop bar at 6220 Carrollton Ave. (Fox 59)

3. Police believe there is no active threat to the public after an 11-year-old boy and a teenage girl were injured in a shooting on Indy's near east side. The incident occurred on Monday morning in the 900 block of Beville Avenue shortly after 6 a.m. Both victims were transported to hospitals for injuries and are in stable condition. (Fox59)

Looking for a healthy alternative to that mid-week glass (or three) of wine? Our partners at Betera set out to create beverages that were sophisticated and flavorful enough to drink at cocktail hour but with zero hangover risk. (Their motto is “Drink like there’s tomorrow.”) Betera's drinks are designed by a Michelin-starred chef using natural botanicals — they're lightly effervescent, sippable, refreshingly bitter and at home in a stem glass or in a highball on the rocks. Betera offers three recipes — Rhubarb-Hibiscus, Elderflower-Lime and Ginger-Orange. We’ve tried all three and loved them equally — we recommend the mixed case as a great place to start.

Betera has extended their 15% discount on first orders to Daily readers, in appreciation for the enthusiastic response so far. Enter Patch15 at checkout and https://bit.ly/TryBetera.
