Highlights for the Week Ending January 13, 2012

Several more stories and articles centering on the Boston-area restaurant scene were posted over the past week, including changes to the North End restaurant scene, a coffee bar opening within a frozen yogurt shop in the Back Bay, and the return of a burrito competition. In addition, our sister site (Boston's Hidden Restaurants) had an updated review of a burger spot in Somerville as well as a photo of a pastry from a South End bakery and a question for readers on a popular side dish.

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