Highlights for the Week Ending November 11, 2011

Several more stories focusing on the Boston-area restaurant scene came out over the past week, including a Brookline restaurant and bar that may be replaced by a tapas restaurant, the reopening of a popular Mexican restaurant, and the possible closing of two Back Bay restaurants to make room for a furniture store. In addition, our sister site (Boston's Hidden Restaurants) had a review on a sushi bar and wine shop in the South End as an updated review on a deli in Newton and a photo of frog-shaped pastries from a place in Medford.

Below are links to these and other items from the past week:
