An Opening Date for Puritan & Co.; Downtown Pho

CAMBRIDGE - Will Gilson's imminent Inman Square restaurant Puritan & Co. will soft-open on Thursday or Friday, says UrbanDaddy. And with a custom beer made with ingredients from The Herb Lyceum in Groton, which is Gilson's family's farm where the Puritan & Co. preview dinner was held. [UD, EBOS]

DOWNTOWN - The brick and mortar restaurant from the Momogoose food truck team will not be called Momogoose, says Chowder. Expect "the type of goods you'd find in food market stalls in Vietnam," like noodle bowls, pho and dumplings. [C]

BOSTON - Zagat says these are Boston's five best hotel restaurants. Agree, disagree? [Z]
