Santa JG Claus: Number One Burger. Number One Onion Rings. Number Two Lime Rickie (Scup's - see below - has the Number One.) If you have never been to Bartley's, go now. Say "Hi" to Mr. Bartley for me! Read more.
hooeyspewer .: I've been coming here for years and have never had a bad meal. Very no-nonsense place. Burgers are sublime - but also not to be missed are the sweet potato fries, Raspberry Lime Rickeys and Frappes.
jeffrey merrihue: Legendary, burgers with shoe string onion rings and a raspberry Lime Rickey....heaven

American Restaurant · 45 tips and reviews
Reserve: Creatively cupped in a grapefruit, The Donkey Punch at Little Donkey in Boston is made with Cimarron reposado tequila, cassis, lime and agave for a punch of citrus and a kick of sweetness. Read more.
Matt Opsahl: The Grapefruit cocktail is the nectar of gods. Little Gem Salad, Manti and Cookie Dough great. Must return to try Raw bar / ceviche next time. This place is amazing.
Max: Really great fusion tapas. The raw bar has some rare items and there is a Portugal vibe throughout the menu.

Ice Cream Parlor · Harvard Square · 86 tips and reviews
Michelle Todd: Best Raspberry Lime Ricky I've ever had!!
Dan Roberts: The best ice cream in Cambridge/Boston (far better than Toscanini's and Christina's). The best flavors are cappuccino crunch (for coffee/cinnamon lovers), any peanut butter flavor, and brownie batter.
Harvard University: A great locally owned ice-cream shop that will never bore you with its choice of flavors! They also have plenty of frozen-yogurt options as well as smoothies and coffee. Read more.

1008 Cambridge St (btwn Columbia & Windsor St), Cambridge, MA
Brazilian Restaurant · 44 tips and reviews
Jill Santiago: Most authentic and delicious Brazilian restaurant in the area! I don't love fish, but I love the muqueca. Delicious fried plantains, caipirinhas (cachaça, sugar and limes), fried yucca. Great service!
Alex Kasemir: Any of the muquecas are good. Tried a bunch and they are very tasty. These are basically stews
Aniket Deshpande: The tapioca coconut desert is pure bliss !
Miguel: Great chicken tacos and amazing lime agua fresca — but overpriced.
Djaniella D.: Super spacious, three-floor Mexican Taqueria! Carnitas are delicious! Save room for chips & queso, and grab a passion fruit Agua Fresca to drink!
R. Leopoldina Torres: Best Mexican food in Harvard Square. But the real secret is the rooftop garden and second floor seating!

Alex T.: Get a double scoop- lemon and Vienna finger!! Suggested by the barista and it tastes like key lime pie- but better!
benn: Have someone recommend a more unusual flavor. I chose lime cardamom over Ovaltine, but both were excellent
Crystal King: Toscanini's is always changing it up with unusual flavors. Everything is made in house, and you can't go wrong with anything you choose. My faves are B3, goat cheese brownie, fluffernutter!
7. Catalyst Restaurant

300 Technology Sq (at Albany & Main), Cambridge, MA
New American Restaurant · Kendall Square · 52 tips and reviews
Rich Thorne: Try the Pho: a blend of cucumber vodka, lime, basil, cilantro, and sriracha. Perfection in a chilled glass.
Boston.com: Try the beautifully roasted cod in a refined chowder, seared scallops with pickled pumpkin, tender and flavorful tournedos of beef topped with taleggio ravioli. Read more.
Steliane Marques: Super: Roasted Cod, Olive oil Crushed Potatoes Bacon, Mussels Chowder, Herb Nage!
Nathan P.: Most desserts here are too sweet, but the cornmeal lime cookies are worth their weight in gold.
Dan Roberts: Solid lunch spot near MIT. Call in your order so you don't have to wait on line. Roast beef sandwich is an excellent pick. The TCHO chocolate chip cookie is the best cookie in Cambridge.
David Haber: Wireless is turned off from 11-2pm during peak hours. Otherwise the password is their telephone number.
13. Club Passim

47 Palmer St (Brattle St), Cambridge, MA
Music Venue · Harvard Square · 22 tips and reviews
Secret Boston: Coolest music vibe in town, man. 60s
The Feast: Legendary folk joint. A slightly older crowd holds court here most nights, but also expect to see plenty of music-nerds.
Ingrid Hartman: Buy tickets early so you can sit up in front. Amazingly intimate venue, nothing quite like it.

Indian Restaurant · Harvard Square · 25 tips and reviews
Ben Gaut: The lamb curry rice bowl is awesome. I got mine with mint lime chutney, and its delicious. The samosas, however, are bland and voting. Stick to the main dishes.
Sagar Jauhari: Veggie momos are really good. Ask them for spicy chutney with it
Aaron Franklin: Great new place for fast Indian food

Arepa Restaurant · Harvard Square · 47 tips and reviews
ᴡ Martin: One of my favorite go to restaurants! The hot sauce!! The sangria! The waiters are all my favorites! The back patio is sublime! (Soo many exclamation marks)
Peter Boyce: The back patio seats 30, perfect spot on a summer evening. And the owner Marta is truly a gem of a host.
Jorge Pilo: Actually very authentic Venezuelan food. Try the Tequenos, our national pride.
