INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Indy’s Dine Out program could return to help restaurants survive and thrive during March Madness. It’s still being discussed between the Indianapolis Department of Public Works, the mayor’s office and the city’s Department of Business and Neighborhood Services.
Participating restaurants along Broad Ripple Avenue, Massachusetts Avenue and Georgia Street would be able to utilize street parking for temporary outdoor seating within the right-of-way.
The “Dine Out” initiative was created for restaurants to safely reopen and accommodate customers during the pandemic last spring through Labor Day. Much of the business community believed it was a success.

The Ohio-based restaurant chain debuted in Pittsburgh in 2017 on Liberty Avenue near the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. A year later, a second location opened on Butler Street in Lawrenceville.
Despite the pandemic, two regional restaurant chains are expanding in 2021.
South Hills Village is about to get some south-of-the-border fare. Condado Tacos, an Ohio-based chain with locations in Lawrenceville and Downtown Pittsburgh, is opening a restaurant in the mall in late February or early March.

The eatery will be located on the mall’s upper level adjacent to Macy’s in a 3,729-square-foot space previously occupied by Saga Hibachi Steakhouse & Sushi Bar. It will also boast a 1,050-square-foot patio. Condado’s other two Pittsburgh locations have a few sidewalk tables for outdoor dining.
A dozen local artists, led by Condado’s art department director Lindsay Pilko, will paint graffiti-style, floor-to-ceiling murals inside the space. The theme for South Hills Village will center around hip hop with Steel City flair.
The expected date is late February or early March.
“We are so excited about this newest restaurant,” said Hannah Vlk, brand manager for Condado, based in Columbus, Ohio. “Pittsburgh is a market we love being in.”
Vlk said this will be the company’s 23rd restaurant.
It joins restaurants in Downtown Pittsburgh and in Lawrenceville.
The new space will be located on the upper level, with an exterior entrance near Macy’s at South Hills Village. It will have a large patio and occupy 4,780 square feet.
