The North Side of Indianapolis has some great places to shop, and they’re easy to get to from Carmel. With three major malls close by, and a variety of furniture and specialty retail shops, residents have lots of choices.

It’s popular restaurants include Kona Grill, Mitchell’s Fish Market, Kincaid’s Fish Chop & Steak House, Paradise Bakery, and Ted’s Montana Grill. Alternative Shopping If your not into the mall scene you should check out the galleries and boutiques in the Carmel Arts & Design District, or travel South on US-31 a few miles and check out the eclectic shops and boutiques in the Broad Ripple area of Indianapolis. Circle Centre Mall [Link] Don’t forget about downtown Indy when it comes to shopping. The downtown area is not that far, particularly if you’re in the mood.
