Haynie's Corner is Evansville's arts and dining district, centred on a few blocks near Riverside Drive and Haynie Avenue. The area preserves a pocket of late 19th-century commercial architecture that was unfashionable enough to escape demolition during the urban renewal era, and which has since attracted independent restaurants, galleries, and small creative businesses. Bosse Field is at the edge of the district.
The neighbourhood has the informal, slightly rough-around-the-edges character typical of arts districts in smaller Midwestern cities — genuinely good food and drink at local prices, occasional gallery openings, and a mix of old-timers and young creatives. A farmers' market operates in the area on weekends in warmer months. For visitors looking for a place to eat and drink that isn't a chain restaurant, this is the best part of downtown Evansville.
