Overview:
Hip shops, restaurants and Ivy
League-influence make this a natural people-watching
paradise. There are plenty of sights here. Topping the list
are the street performers, some of whom are actually quite
talented. Resembling an outdoor mall, Harvard Square is home
to big retailers like the Gap and HMV, as well as trendy
boutiques like Jasmine Sola and Tess.
Features:
Here is the eye of
the Square's storm: Tourists mingle with multi-pierced
guitarists, tweedy Brattle Street residents with students
and chess masters. Stop by Cardullo's for some gourmet
goodies or visit one of the various literary outlets, like
WordsWorth Books and the Grolier Poetry Bookshop. For
affordable ethnic favorites, there's Cafe of India. Try the
Vietnamese chain, Pho Pasteur, or get ice cream to go from
Toscanini's. |
