It isn’t too early to start planning holiday meals. Amelia’s has opened its Thanksgiving online order form for baked goods and sommelier-selected wine pairings. Ordering Pots & Pans Pie Co.‘s (4915 N. College Ave., 317-600-3475) sweet and savory November pies, including a Thanksgiving Dinner Pot Pie featuring mashed potatoes, turkey, gravy, and sausage-cornbread stuffing wrapped in flaky pie crust, is available by calling the shop or going online.
Mikado Japanese Restaurant (148 S. Illinois St., 317-972-4180) will say goodbye in December, after 23 years of serving classic, authentic Japanese meals in the heart of downtown. Via a Facebook post, the restaurant stated that the family is ready for a break but promises to be back with a new project soon.
After a 30-year run, The Donut Shop (5527 N. Keystone Ave.) has permanently closed due to the passing of its owner. This beloved bakery and diner will definitely leave a breakfast-sized hole in the Broad Ripple community.
If you need a dose of “aloha” on these dark and rainy days, Hawaiian-inspired Manele Cafe (703 Veterans Way, 317-218-7877) is now open on the interior plaza of Carmel City Center. An all-day breakfast menu includes açai bowls, avocado toast, and skillets, plus salads, rice bowls, sandwiches, and wraps. Owner Craig Barnum also owns Matt the Miller’s Tavern, which opened in 2012.
