Indianapolis' Goose the Market has meats, cheeses, wine, beer, ridiculously good sandwiches, and mouth-watering charcuterie. Goose the Market is arguably the best place in Indianapolis — nay, the world.

6. They have a neighborhood called "SoBro."

It stands for "South Broad Ripple." We can't think of a better place to grab a beer and watch the Big Game.

Note: This body of water (located in SoBro) is also extremely important.

Is this an actual lake filled with bacon? Not yet, but there's no reason it couldn't be.

7. Indianapolis knows the difference between luck and skill.
