Midtown Gary - Gary, IN Area Guide

Where small-town charm meets big-city convenience

Shops Restaurants Theater Culture Arts Family-Friendly

The Midtown area of Gary sits directly south of downtown, so you don't need to travel far to get to the center of your fair city. Reach the middle of Chicago by traveling northwest around 35 miles. A little closer to your apartment, Broadway represents a retail area of Midtown where you find most of the national chain restaurants, but locals dig D&G's Soul Food on Grant and 18th. Take your gigantic order to go whether you want smothered pork chops, fried chicken, or beef short ribs.

Fill your mind following your meal at the W.E.B. Du Bois Library on Broadway. Check out the latest crime thriller or romance novel and read it in the second-story reading room under its huge skylight. Examine the latest works from local artists in the art gallery, or attend a community meeting in the building's spacious meeting room. The library continues to be a cornerstone of the neighborhood after nearly 40 years in operation.
