Highlights for the Week Ending July 19, 2013

Several more stories and articles focusing on the Boston-area restaurant scene came out over the past week, including an oceanside restaurant closing once again, a group of dining and drinking establishments expanding to South Station, and a muppet-themed menu being created for a movie showing later this month. In addition, our sister site (Boston's Hidden Restaurants) included a new review of a restaurant and bar in Jamaica Plain, a panel discussion on comfort food and cheap eats in the Boston area and elsewhere in New England, and a photo of carrot cake from a bakery-cafe in the South End.

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