Quote from: ben says on August 12, 2011, 05:40:12 PMHeard similar sentiments from the owners of Indochine (I heard they were considering opening up a stall-like, smaller, quick grab & go S.E. Asian restaurant around King or 5 Pts.

They really need to open up a new A/C unit at the store they already have.  Holy crap its hot in there the last few times.

Mike and Zack are considering staying open all night, Fridays and Saturdays at Derby on the Park and want some feedback about whether or not this would be popular.  I know there has been some discussion on this forum about the lack of late night places to eat.

I'm in bed by the time most places close so am in no position to have an opinion but I know that a lot of you are up and out late at night.  Let them know what you think of the idea on their Facebook page.
When all else fails hug the dog.

I can barely make it to 10o'clock so I'm out also..but there is a need for this...the area is ripe for latenight dining.

Could they possibly have enough seats to serve liquor? 

With recent law change they would only need 100 seats. I think?

Maybe at least to midnight. Not sure there would be much business after then. I live in the neighborhood, and things are pretty quite late at night. If they stayed open 24/7, it would give the local homeless a place to hang out instead of in the alley though.

There is someone trying to negotiate space for an Indian restaurant in Riverside.  Keep your fingers crossed.

I tipped off the owners of the now closed Curry Pot a few days ago. I hope it's them. Their food is so good. He filled me in on some really nasty stuff about his landlord on the southside where they were.

Please let that be so.... I was a weekly diner there.  Best Indian food in town.

So sad Derby Q is going with it.. That was one of my favorite places in Five Points.

What is the design inside the "R"?  I think I see a spatula, but what else is there?

^Took me a second too. It's the light in the 5 points intersection.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

Excuse me for being critical, but THREE different typefaces on ONE  logo!  Seems kind of busy.

Using the 5 Points beacon for the R is clever.

There are also three "5"s on it.
One is tricky to find.
