Highlights for the Week Ending May 11, 2012

Several more stories and articles centering on the Boston-area restaurant scene came out over the past week, including a Back Bay home furnishings store planning to open an adjacent restaurant, a landmark NYC eatery coming to the Boston area, and a fundraiser for someone who works at a popular North End dining spot. In addition, our sister site (Boston's Hidden Restaurants) included a new review of a Mexican restaurant in Somerville, a blog review of an Italian spot in Randolph, and a photo of a sandwich from a deli in Newton.

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