Eat!
The world’s appetite for poke – a Hawaiian dish that historically consists of cubed, raw fish and can be complemented by dressings and/or vegetables – has only grown in recent years. Here in Columbus, Hai Poké offers an array of poke bowls, every one a distinct explosion of flavors and colors. For those not partial to tuna or salmon, additional protein options include shrimp, teriyaki chicken and tofu, amongst others. Aligning with vegan and gluten-free lifestyles, Hai Poké is a featured merchant at North Market Bridge Park in Dublin.

From director M. Night Shyamalan comes Knock at the Cabin, a horror and mystery film first released in theaters on Feb. 3. What was meant to be a secluded cabin getaway for parents Andrew and Eric, along with their seven-year-old daughter Wen, becomes a nightmarish mess. Four strangers crash the family’s vacation, ordering them to willingly sacrifice one of their own to halt an oncoming apocalypse; tension climbs to perilous heights, and unexpected truths come to light even as the world is plunged into darkness.
