The Feed: Day & Night Cereal Bar, Bodhi, And More
Day & Night Cereal Bar, a Los Angeles import that specializes in breakfast cereal–based treats, is opening a Greenwood Park Mall location in February.
Chicken Salad Chick is expanding into Central Indiana with a location planned for the Fishers District. The chain restaurant is based in the deep south, turning this ladies-who-lunch staple into the central reason for the place to exist. There are all kinds of different chicken salad flavors named after real people in founder Stacey Brown’s life. Some contain fruits and nuts, while others are spicy with Buffalo sauce. Of course, Chicken Salad Chick will be happy to cater your fancy brunch, too.
Keep your eyes peeled for details to come about the opening of Bodhi on Mass Ave. From their posts on social media, it seems that the restaurant is going to be a winning combo of Thai restaurant and craft pub. The restaurant will be going into the former Black Market space, so keep your fingers crossed that the gorgeous patio makes its return with a new name.

Field has made great use of its generous floor plan, inviting guests to play until they can bring back all the outdoor fun.
