The King of Class: St. Elmo Steak House
This institution has been a staple of Indy fine dining since 1902, practically older than dirt (and hopefully the steaks are fresher!). They boast a menu that'll make your eyes water (both from the beauty of the dishes and the price tags). Their signature Tomahawk Ribeye is a carnivore's dream, clocking in at a cool $135. But hey, if you're gonna go for broke, go for broke, right? Just be sure to loosen your belt a notch (or two) beforehand.
Tip: Context builds as you keep reading.
Pro Tip: Don't forget to try their famous St. Elmo Shrimp Cocktail, a recipe so legendary it's practically considered a historical landmark.

Sell a kidney (not recommended). Maybe just max out your credit card (also not recommended, but hey, desperate times...).
How to dress for the occasion?
Think "money talks, and it's screaming 'look at me, I'm fancy!'" Break out your fanciest duds, but maybe avoid that bolo tie you got at the state fair.
