We have received our t-shirts and they are awesome!  You can have your very own for only $10.  Plus, if you buy you shirt during this February, we'll donate proceeds to Gleaner's Food Bank!  Help out a great local organization and get a funny t-shirt at the same time.  Click here to order your shirt!

We are excited to announce that we will be having an IndyDining T-Shirt Design Contest!  The t-shirts will be sold through our website, Night Out events, and street teams (a portion of proceeds go to Gleaners Food Bank).  We are asking IndyDining Members to help design the shirt.  What do you get for winning?  If your design is chosen, you will get a free shirt and $1 for each shirt that is sold (our goal is to sell at least 500 shirts)! 

These shirts will sell for $10-$12 (plus s/h) and we will be giving $1 to Gleaners Food Bank for each shirt sold.  Plus, if you submit a design, we will sell you the shirt at 50% off!  (Don't worry about having graphic design skills.  We simply want your general idea and we will help make it perfect)

We have 1 design already (see below) as an example, but be creative!  The shirt needs to grab the passer-by's attention.   The contest starts now and all entries are due Friday, December 12th.  Please send your entries and questions to jeremy {at} indydining {dot} com.  The shirts will be white, limited to 3 colors (blue, red, gold), and cannot contain copywrite material.

If you have any friends who would be interested in designing a shirt, please forward this e-mail to them!  Again, entries are due in just over a week on Friday, December 12th.

Good luck!

Over the past 6 months, IndyDining has received a great deal of press coverage.  This has created an interest among entrepreneurs in major cities across the United States.  These entrepreneurs have asked to operate IndyDining in their own cities.  We love this idea!  As a result, we have designed the IndyDining website to be expandable into these cities and allow the City Directors (our local operators) the opportunity to be a part of this great opportunity.

As of today, we have official City Directors in about 10 cities/regions and we are looking for entrepreneurs to step up in many more.  Click here for more information on the City Director opportunity and to see which cities we are expanding to!

Do you travel to other major cities throughout the US?  Do you have friends or family who live in other cities?  Make sure to tell them about IndyDining and help get the ball rolling!

We are excited to announce the launch of a new program called IndyDining Meal Deals which is exclusive for our new Platinum Membership, also launching today.

The IndyDining Platinum Membership is an exclusive IndyDining membership.  Each Platinum Member receives an official membership card, exclusive access to the Meal Deals, Double Reward Points and more to come!  Click here to activate your Platinum Membership. The annual membership is $25, but your potential savings far outweigh the membership dues. How much can you save? Click here, we have created a Savings Calculator.  Take advantage of a 15-day trial at no cost!

IndyDining Meal Deals are designed to help you try new restaurants and save money at the same time.  We have created a page which lists all of the Meal Deals available and allows you to search for a restaurant you would like to try.  The program works similar to the Night Out in that you present a pre-printed certificate, however there is no time window!  Below is the (growing) list of Meal Deals available:

Today we launched a new feature called IndyDining TableTalk. The IndyDining community is growing and we would like to give you a chance to communicate with each other. IndyDining TableTalk is a way to post your comments on different topics and ask questions for others to answer.

As you will see, we have a few categories already listed. If you have ideas for any others, please let us know and we will add them!

To post a new topic on IndyDining TableTalk, simply select the relevant category and click the New Topic button. Again, you can post anything you would like: city information, upcoming events, and much more!

As you have probably noticed, we have launched a whole new "look" for IndyDining. We have revamped our logo and given the website a whole new design. Let us know what you think of the design.

We also have many more things currently in the pipleline for future development of IndyDining. Stay tuned for more information. Spoiler Alert: One thing we are going to do is make IndyDining more "community-involved" and bring our members together.

If you have any ideas on how to make IndyDining thrive, please contact us today!

Special thanks to SaucePan Creative for the help with the IndyDining look.

We have now started offering IndyDining Rewards for reviewers to trade-in their Reward Points. The Rewards will be special offers from restaurants and we hope to have other prizes available soon.

How do you earn Reward Points? As an IndyDining Reviewer, you have a number of ways to earn Reward Points. You can write reviews, attend Night Outs, and much more.

What are the Rewards? Click here to view available Rewards!

Today we added a new type of search called the Coupon Search. It functions exactly how you think it would. The Coupon Search allows you to easily find which restaurants have posted coupons without having to visit individual profiles.

Click here see the Coupon Search in action!

Everyone has their own favorite restaurants at which they like to dine. What are yours?

We have setup a "Favorite Restaurants" list which allows you to add your favorite restaurants for easy access and much more... For example, if a restaurant on your "Favorite Restaurants" list posts a new coupon, well will send you an e-mail notification. Or the restaurant can send you a gift certificate directly!

Your "Favorite Restaurants" list can be found here. To add a restaurant to your list, simply go to the profile of that restaurant and click "Add To Favorites" located on the left hand side of the page.

That's right! With the addition of Hot Box Pizza, we have 100 restaurants listed on IndyDining!! We have worked very hard to grow the website to list all of your favorite restaurants and provide great value to your dining experience. We realize we have only scratched the surface and will continue to add new restaurants. If you would like a restaurant listed, please refer them or contact us!

We have many great things planned for the future and hope you will be involved! Check out our upcoming IndyDining Night Out!
