This is my go-to salon for everything: hair cut & color, nails, eyebrows, and even massage. I've never had bad service and their pricing is reasonable. I like the aveda products as well.
Start here with their spa options for men, like the elemental nature facial, which is apparently good for men with beards to clean out the pores, grey blending services, & a back facial. Read more.
Magical massage!
With a Sandwich Menu that offers a diverse selection of wraps and sandwiches, it is tough to go wrong. Try the Grendel or take advantage of the toppings combos they offer for Chicken Sandwiches.
If Beowulf showed up, [the bartender] would be like, 'Dude, take that metal armor off. It's not OK to wear that in the bar' ... Then he'd say, 'OK, what do you want?' " Read more.
All food at Grendel's Den in Harvard Square is 1/2 price 7 nights a week from 5 to 7:30pm and 1/2 price Sunday through Thursday from 9pm-11:30
The Breakfast Sandwich is delish! Great brunch spot
Two restaurants in one, both tailor-made for Tech Square: an all-day bakery-cafe attached to a sparse, industrial dining room with two wood-fired ovens. Read more.
It smells like a campfire, even when you sit outside. Great for Forrester-watching.
Grab the fish and chips or even the seafood stew or even any of the sandwiches. All are delicious.
Enjoy live Irish Music!
order the fish sandwich.
Peanut Butter Chip + Chocolate Mousse is the best combo you can get!! The closest ice cream to the real Italian Gelato in the US!!
unbelievable dulce de leche, you gotta try it!
Most fantastic flavor: Lime-Jalapeño-Tequila sorbet. Like a spicy frozen margarita.
They have an amazing patio, good food and a decent, rotating craft beer selection. Oh and good live music too.
One of the nicest outdoor patios in the city, built by the owner Patrick's brother
Wild.Boar.Sausage. w/carrot salad. Yeah, this.
This Cajun/ Mexican restaurant has great food and atmosphere. Among the many dishes, don’t be afraid to try the Catfish New Orleans! But get there early or be ready to wait. Read more.
Best Chips!
Great selection of beers (I had the tall tale ale) calamari and late bfast steak were amazing!! Definitely worth a visit whether it is for the food or the beer.
An extraordinarily experimental local brew pub. Short rib poutine and a pizza topped with local foraged mushrooms are different from the usual pub fare, and an outdoor patio offers coveted seats. Read more.
Mark your calendar for CBC Pumpkin Fest around Halloween. It's an amazing selection of over 40 different pumpkin beers. Spectacular event!
Southern fried chicken is amazing. Lots of options from great breweries on tap as well.
If you're not sure what to go for, go with the 'Staff Pick'. Four 5oz beer samplers. Tasty!
You must get the the sweet potato fries. Best I've had in a while.
Their homemade bagels and lentil soup will overcome any dismal, rainy Boston day. Their espresso is excellent, provided you ask for enough espresso--their lattes can be watery.
They really love making (and talking about) coffee. It comes through in their espresso, which is hands-down the best in the entire Boston area.
One of the best Mocha's around.
Good, classic burgers and great french fries. Pretty inexpensive and fast. Recommend the Big Tasty.
If you're interested in speaking with the owner, ask for Gus Fring.
come here to see a bunch of HBS kids think they're the shiz and then get owned in pool.
strawberry flavor with mochi and mango is really good. locally made mochi!
AWESOME frozen Greek yogurt. Get a small original & add 3 fresh fruit toppings for a discount & for heavenly yumminess.
BerryLine is locally owned by long time friends, Pok Yang and Matthew Wallace, who first met in 1999 while attending graduate school in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
Deceptively large boutique filled with adorable clothing items, accessories, kitchenware, and home decor (albeit kind of splurge). Very well arranged on all four floors.
Do not go in there with your girlfriend. You'll be stuck waiting for a good 30 minutes.
The managers are awesome!
amazingly great pub fare, down to the fries. eclectic neighborhood regulars and great staff. free wifi
Get an Old Fashioned! You'll feel like Don Draper, and enjoy it more than getting one anywhere else.
the weekend brunch here is great, probably the best in Cambridge
This is an awesome Starbucks, and the staff is so sweet! Grab an iced Clover upstairs from one of the knowledgeable and friendly baristas!
Beautiful Starbucks unlike any in the city. Definitely head directly upstairs to enjoy a Clover brewed coffee to stay and enjoy the best view of Harvard Square.
Slowest Internet ever
