April 14, 2014 Alden and Harlow

The President was in Harvard Square on the one night that I have a massage appointment. They told me in advance that I wouldn’t be able to drive in – the Charles Hotel garage would be closed to the public. No problem, I hop in a cab and rush over after work…only to find that […]

December 23, 2013 Beat Hotel

I usually agree with Devra First’s reviews, but a few days ago she gave Beat Hotel 1 1/2 stars. Located in Harvard Square, Beat Hotel, inspired by the hippie movement is a new venture from the group that brought you the Beehive. Located below ground level, Beat Hotel feels a little like your friend’s basement. […]

December 12, 2013 Upstairs on the Square

Co-owners Mary-Catherine Deibel and Deborah Hughes will close the doors to Upstairs on the Square on New Year’s Eve after being in business for over 30 years. I had my bridal shower in the Zebra room, so I wanted to make sure to go there at least one more time before they close up shop. […]

November 26, 2013 Park

It’s weird walking into Park, I kept having flashbacks of crazy nights at the Redline… The lights are dim and this place has a good vibe the minute you walk in the door. It’s warm and inviting, a great place to meet friends and have a relaxing night out filled with great food and inventive […]

They will nearly double their size and offer beer and wine at their new location. Felipe’s is owned by Tom Brush, who owns the nearby Flat Patties. Tom’s daughter owns Crema Cafe […]

October 3, 2013 Flat Patties

Flat Patties is located just steps from the Harvard Square T stop. They are a cute little place with outdoor seating in the summer time as well as a balcony up top if you want to eat in. Their shakes are delicious, so far I’ve done coffee and strawberry and have yet to be disappointed. […]

July 1, 2013 Russell House Tavern

Located in Harvard Square, Russell House Tavern is a great upscale bar with a lot of tasty options. We grab a seat downstairs, the restaurant is much bigger than it looks on the outside. Service was pretty good, considering it was a packed on a Thursday night around 8. We start with the Fiore Di […]
