January 2012 Openings & Closings

rootlogo.jpg
​The new year began right where the old one ended, with plenty of openings and not many closures.

Notable openings included two of Gut Check's most anticipated restaurants of 2012 (that we know of): Root, Brian Hardesty's look at historical American cuisine, and Medianoche, the contemporary Mexican restaurant that takes over the Half & Half space at dinner.

As always, please let us know in the comments about any openings and closings from the month of January that we might have missed.
