Highlights for the Week Ending November 25, 2011

A few more stories focusing on the Boston-area restaurant scene came out over the past week, including a coffee company in the Berkshires opening a cafe in Boston, a pair of chefs from a high-end restaurant opening a ramen noodle pop-up spot, and the demolishing of a building that once housed a Boston Red Sox slugger's restaurant. In addition, our sister site (Boston's Hidden Restaurants) had a new review of a Quincy restaurant as well as photo of French toast from a breakfast and lunch spot in Quincy and updated results of a reader poll of best restaurants of 2011.
