Highlights for the Week Ending December 6, 2013

Several more stories and articles focusing on the Boston-area restaurant scene came out over the past week, including an Irish pub leaving Harvard Square, the folks behind a popular restaurant in Downtown Crossing opening a new place in the South End, and a new burger spot coming to the BU area. In addition, our sister site (Boston's Hidden Restaurants) included a new review of a cozy old restaurant on the South Shore, a photo slideshow on some of the best dishes of the year, and a photo of chili from a little-known Irish bar and restaurant.

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