The section of Highland Street just north of downtown has traditionally been a funky, eclectic area filled with college students, and its diverse restaurant scene makes it a destination spot for foodies as well. One of the best options here is
Sahara Restaurant & Bar
(143 Highland Street), a quiet Lebanese restaurant that rivals some of the best you’ll find in Boston. If you like falafel, baba ghanouj, shawarma and kebabs, you’ll probably love this place.
Worcester has its fair share of old-fashioned dining spots, and
George’s Coney Island
(158 Southbridge Street) is about as old-school as they get.

Three Shawnee sidewalk projects enter design phase

Shawnee has been lining streets with sidewalks at an aggressive pace for a few years; now three significant sidewalk projects are entering the design phase after the Shawnee City Commission unanimously voted Monday to approve contracts with three separate firms.
Thanks to a collaborative effort between the Avedis Foundation and the City of Shawnee, matching grants have been funding these sidewalk goals across the community in alignment with the city s Comprehensive Plan and a Master Trail and sidewalk initiative sparked by the Parks Master Plan adopted in 2015.
“In 2017 the city was awarded a dollar-for-dollar Avedis Foundation grant for sidewalk construction,” City Engineer Seth Barkhimer said last month. “That money has not been fully utilized and it actually has a sunset date for June of 2022.”
