    • 9 hours is plenty of time to visit downtown (it's only about five miles from the airport).  If the weather is nice, you should visit Gray's Lake and take a stroll or rent a bike.  You can ride from this park into downtown on the bike path. 
      Papajohn sculpture park, East Village, and the Capitol Building are all great options for site seeing.  The Capitol complex is free to go inside, and you won't be disappointed.  The artwork and design are really amazing.
      There are several great Vegetarian Restaraunts - other than the ones already mentioned, I would add New World Cafe in East Village.
