We go here to drink beer ( they have greater selection of fresh brew and bottled) watch sports on the TV and enjoy the black bean burgers-- the best I've ever had. More

Not worth going out of your way for this park, but worth a gander if you're in the neighborhood. Good playground equipment for kids. More

It's a very small green space, but quite historical in our country's history! It's where George Washington took command of the troops. More

I loved this place. The selection of beer is large and changes everyday. Bartenders know them and let you try a few for free so you make an informed decision. Food is good too. More

I go here regularly for a beer or two. They always have an awesome selection of staples and specials. I highly recommend the black bean burger. I get mine with feta. The chipotle aioli is delicious! Oh and if you like spicy, get a side of the satanic buffalo sauce. It is homemade! More

This is not a restaurant to make a detour for, but if you're in the mood for a decent meal in Harvard Square at a reasonable price, you'll find a range of standard fare. The room tends to be loud in the evening, and conversation can be difficult. More
