For a local experience, make sure you visit one of Kokomo’s local restaurants. Several are located Downtown in unique, historic buildings!  These include The District, Foxes Trail, Cook McDoogal’s Irish Pub, Drakes Bar & Grill, Pepperwhistle Bakery & Cafe, Main Street Cafe, and Jamie’s Soda Fountain.
