Highlights for the Week Ending December 18, 2015

Several more stories and articles focusing on the Boston-area restaurant scene came out over the past week, including a legendary group of NYC-based spots coming to Boston, a South End restaurant closing again, and a decades-old Faneuil Hall bar saying farewell. In addition, our sister site (Boston's Hidden Restaurants) included a new review of a hot pot place in North Quincy, a photo of a calzone from an old-school East Boston bar, and a list of more gifts for food and book lovers.

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