GenCon Indy - Breakfast! - looking suggestions from an Indy local

[Dirt]

While GenCon was in Milwaukee, my gaming group had a favorite breakfast restaurant that we frequented every morning (Michaels...anyone know of it?). Now that GenCon has moved to Indy, we're looking for a new favorite haunt. Any suggestions?

Also check out the Keeper's site. I recall him mentioning some all-night place where the EMTs stop in for breakfast and a margarita before heading home.....

I would suggest Le Peep at 301 N. Illinois Street (about 4 or 5 blocks from the Convention center). They serve both breakfast and lunch, and have a number of vegetarian selections.

For something faster, there is an Einstein Brothers Bagels at 47 S. Illinois Street.

Oh yeah, Le Peep is good. Whenever I stay overnight in Indy, that's my breakfast place.

Steak and Shake is 24 hrs. Never had breakfast there.

Einstien Bros. Bagels is good for bagels, cinnamon rolls, and coffee.

I think that we may try a couple of the different suggestions that we've seen. If we find one comparable to our long-lost Michaels, we'll stick with that one.

So far, the suggestions that I have been going off of have been from the following 2 sites (I'm mentioning these in case anyone else is interested in learning about the Indy area):

I will only eat at Le Peep if I am able to get a plate of marshmallow peeps for breakfast. With syrup.

Nope...no breakfast peeps for you...

You will have to sustain yourself on a strict early morning diet of 3 day old powder Dunkin Donut-holes.

If anyone reading this thread ever has to share a hotel room with Fathead, do NOT ignore the box of donuts sitting on the AC unit for the duration of the convention. You will be rudely awakened one morning with a vicious hail of rock-hard donuts. He's a grudge-holder, y'know.
