Festive Fort Wayne, Indiana 

My favorite way to spend a day in Fort Wayne, Indiana would be starting off with a delicious cup of coffee and brunch at Conjure Coffee, while enjoying the fun atmosphere they have there. Then I would head over to the Fort Wayne Museum of Art to go through one of the many amazing exhibits they have on display.

Of course spending the day downtown wouldn’t be complete without shopping at local shops like The Find and Fancy & Staple which are a few favorites.

The best way to end the day is dinner at Copper Spoon. The food is phenomenal, the service is amazing and it’s such a beautiful space. Make sure to save enough room for dessert!
