Highlights for the Week Ending November 8, 2013

Several more stories and articles focusing on the Boston-area restaurant scene came out over the past week, including a dining spot from one of Boston's best-known restaurateurs undergoing some changes, a popular Irish pub apparently returning to the city, and a Somerville restaurant morphing into a new place. In addition, our sister site (Boston's Hidden Restaurants) included a new review of a pizza spot and Italian restaurant with a familiar name, a new slideshow on "cheesy" restaurant items, and a photo of old fashioned candy from a Cape Ann shop.

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