Highlights for the Week Ending August 24, 2012

A few more stories and articles centering on the Boston-area restaurant scene came out over the past week, including an East Boston eatery being featured on the Food Network, a Cambridge coffee shop opening a second location, and a BBQ restaurant in Somerville closing for good shortly after it opened. In addition, our sister site (Boston's Hidden Restaurants) included an updated review of a sushi bar in Newtonville, a blog entry on restaurants that college students may be interested in, and a photo of a chocolate waffle from a pastry shop in Medford.

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