Highlights for the Week Ending September 7, 2012

A few more stories and articles centering on the Boston-area restaurant scene came out over the past week, including a classic dive bar losing its home, a popular restaurant guide including a Boston thoroughfare among its picks for most exciting food streets, and a university creating a record-setting seafood dish. In addition, our sister site (Boston's Hidden Restaurants) included an updated  review of a breakfast and lunch spot south of Boston, a slideshow of specific restaurant dishes that college students may want to try, and a photo of a dessert from a hilltop dining spot in NE Connecticut.

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