I Live in the Midwest-This Is the One Small Town Everyone Should Visit at Least Once

"Bloomington is primarily known as a college town and is home to Indiana University's main campus. Recently, Bloomington and Indiana University were thrust into the news after winning the community's first-ever college football national championship. However, there's plenty that Bloomington excels at beyond college sports. Bloomington also has a robust food scene, world-class museums, and is an all-around great, bustling town located just an hour south of Indianapolis."

"The food in Bloomington is diverse to say the least. It has more than 350 restaurants, spanning Turkish, Tibetan, Burmese, Venezuelan, Mexican, Thai, and French cuisines. In a city of just 80,000, Bloomington's culinary scene rivals cities of much larger populations, and it has one restaurant for every 230 residents. Along 4th Street, you'll find everything from steaming momos at iconic Anyetsang's Little Tibet to eggnog tart and Swiss röstis at The Elm."
