The following is accurate as of a late January press date and will be published in the March 2013 issue of SLM.

Note: Followers of this list know that restaurant "openings" always outnumber "closings." This month you'll see those numbers a little closer together, as this list includes the end of the year, a time when some restaurant owners reluctantly admit that "it's time."
