Plans are
in the works for a wine bar called Tastings that would take the first-floor corner space at the Conrad Indianapolis and continue
an explosion of sidewalk seating at downtown restaurants. The $1 million project would add an entrance to the luxury hotel
at the northeast corner of Washington and Illinois streets and include a total of 80 outdoor seats along both streets. The
wine bar, offering a rotating selection of more than 100 wines by the glass, would replace the hotel’s indoor Vitesse lounge
and serve as the flagship of a small chain based in St. Petersburg, Fla. The concept features machines (shown here) that remove
oxygen and add nitrogen to the wine to preserve flavor and lengthen its shelf life. Full story is here.

Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.

I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.

The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.

I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!

I find it interesting that a hotel that bills itself as an elite luxury output and Indy's flagship hotel has both a restaurant and bar that are chains. Seems dubious.
Now not all chains are bad. Oceannaire is good, for example. But it is an odd choice for a luxury hotel.
The 'cuvinet' concept of preventing oxygen in a bottle is valid- and at least forty years old...
Plus, the owners had no comment to local media?
Sounds like Olives at the Omni, without the 'chain'. How's that workin out for ya?
I think he referencing the building just south of downtown near Sharpiro's.........I read something recently about the space being converted into an Italian places of some sort........apparently one of the owner's grandparents had an Italian restaurant in the 1940's downtown at one point.......
Iozzo's is the name of the Italian Restaurant just south of Greek Islands and Shapiro's. A good friend of mine is the Restaurant Manager.
The original Iozzo's was located where the Hyatt complex is now.
