News on the Future Post-Patio? Not news to many folks, but with The Patio closing, the space is in good keeping. IndyStar reports David and Maggie Lee, owners of Broad Ripple's Naked Tchopstix, have taken a 15-year lease on the space. No solid plans yet, they say, but it won't re-emerge as a concert venue. No name yet.

Make your plans for Holiday Tea! Oakley's will offer a full Holiday high tea complete with scones and finger sandwiches (no word on the clotted cream) each day at 3:00 p.m. from Tuesday, December 20 until Friday, December 23. Call for reservations -- $25 inclusive per person.

Marsh has brought in a NY firm to explore strategic alternatives one of which could involve putting the entire chain on the market. Indystar.com has the story.
