Start by stopping in the IU college town of Bloomington, IN on the way for lunch at Nick’s English Hut – A Bloomington tradition since 1927! It’s a great half-way stop! Also, we highly recommend dinner one night at the 1875 Steakhouse at French Lick Resort. Also, don’t forget about the new Valley Tower restaurant and bar for an excellent casual relaxing dining experience. Great steaks as well!
