Despite a failed New Year’s Resolution from Matt, our hosts tackle a solid round of new restaurants and chalk them up into their standardized scorecard. After quick looks at the new East side Stay Golden and the tasty Liberty Common, they immerse themselves in full reviews of the upscale sports bar The Ainsworth, the Japanese inspired Green Pheasant and the modern middle eastern take from Lyra.
