Husband-and-wife team BJ Lieberman and Bronwyn Haines bring their third conquest to Columbus with the opening of Hiraeth in early August. The wood-fired restaurant is a cozy dining experience nestled in the Short North at 36 E Lincoln St. The Welsh term “Hiraeth” has no direct English translation but can be compared to the comfort of remembering home. Hiraeth encompasses this feeling beautifully with its intimate seating and live-fire hearth that allows diners to get a view of the action. This new Columbus cuisine is sure to impress with its diverse menu of appetizers, grilled yakatori and large cuts grilled over the wood-fired hearth.

Stop Making Sense, considered by many critics as one of the best concert films of all time, is heading back to the big screen this weekend. The 1984 footage and music is getting a facelift with the re-release of the film in 4K. For those who missed it the first time around, the film pieces together three nights’ worth of performances from the rock band Talking Heads at Hollywood's Pantages Theater. The film showcases all the bands’ most memorable songs from its final tour and – with a flashy new coat of paint – is sure to be just as entertaining the first, second, or hundredth time around.
