Demolish Your New Year's Resolution at Blue Fin Sushi's Happy Hour

According to my extremely reliable Google search methods, weight loss is the most common New Year’s resolution, among, incredibly, wanting to drink less alcohol (because who would ever want that??  Boring).  I don’t want to necessarily lose weight, but it would be nice to eat way healthier and, say, run
