Good morning and happy Tuesday, Insiders 🎄
December’s here, the Christmas markets are flipping on their lights, and Daniel Jones has one fibula left. From new local openings to all the holiday pop-ups taking over the city, there’s plenty happening this week — so let’s jump in.
Mo’s just launched its long-awaited Greenwood outpost — bringing high-end steakhouse vibes to the south side. After the ribbon-cutting in November 2025, the spot opened to the public with USDA prime steaks, seafood flown in daily, and a large enough wine list to cover the needed night-cap.
The wait is over - we’re back with another coffee shop find to consume your Sundays. If you’ve been tracking Indy’s brunch scene, heads up — Three Dolls & Co. is now officially open near East Washington Street 🎉. According to Indianapolis Monthly, the café opened just this fall and immediately started serving up their breakfasts, sandwiches, salads and custom cakes, plus a full pastry case for the Instagram pic.
What did we try on our recent visit? The chicken-biscuit of course.
