This time of year can be hectic! While enjoying your holiday meal and scouring the internet for Black Friday deals, it can be easy to forget that this Saturday, November 30th is Small Business Saturday. There’s no better time of year to support local Indianapolis businesses. Luckily, you don't have to stray too far from our Herron Morton community to find fun gifts! Some of the best shops and boutiques in Indy are near The Grounds Apartments so you can easily find unique treasures and celebrate the creativity of local entrepreneurs.

If you spent all day cooking a meal on Thursday or out shopping at the big box stores on Friday, you'll likely wake up on Saturday wanting to go back to bed. The cure? Grab a delicious latte and pastry at PROVIDER Coffee on E 16th Avenue. When you're craving a meal in the middle of your day, visit Foundry Provisions and grab their delicious breakfast sandwich. At the end of the long day, when you're worn out from hitting all the best shops in town, head to Gather 22 on 22nd Street where they offer great pizza and a variety of vegetarian options, too!
