Finale is coming to the North End
Finale Desserterie, a small dessert chain that sprang from a student project at Harvard Business School, plans to open one of its dessert restaurants in the North End in the fall, Mayor Thomas M. Menino said.
The restaurant will face the new Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway and will be located in some of the space once occupied by a Martignetti liquor store, the Boston Redevelopment Authority said; at the intersection of Salem and Cross streets, Finale will occupy about 2,400 square feet of space.

Menino made the announcement while marking the opening of Finale's new pastry kitchen and corporate headquarters in Allston.
The restaurant in the North End, long a mecca for food buffs and pastry lovers, will be the fifth in the Finale chain.
