Gen Con is truly The Best Four Days in Gaming™, but if you don't have a badge, it's still four days of opportunities for fun. The annual Block Party on South Street brings together some of Indy's finest food trucks as well as favorite local vendors like The Shop selling special merch, Sun King with this year's official beer Core Strategy (an apple cyzer), Hotbox Pizza's Chili Con Carnage pie, Helm Coffee's Expeditious Elixir and Rejuvenation Potion, the Burning Beast burger from Harry & Izzy's, and Tideborn and Code Rosé wines from Daniel's Vineyard. Walk down Georgia Street to sample Social Cantina's Mario Bros. menu, Coffee Den's dirty chai, and Georgia Street Grind's Thor's Hammer and Simple Meeple. | |
