Things To Do In Harvard Square
Adam Katz

Student and HBS/HLS, Explorer

Henrietta's Table
Best brunch and breakfast place in Cambridge. Play spot the random Harvard professor.
Harvard Yard
Explore when it's at its most morning frenetic.
Widener Library
If you can find a student to sneak you inside, it's an amazingly beautiful place.
Darwin's Ltd.
Incredible and well-named sandwiches, difficult yet endearing staff.
Harvard Book Store
One of the last and best independent bookstores around.
Peet's Coffee & Tea
If it's nice, hang out in Winthrop Park with a book and a tea.
Daedalus
The best (probably only) rooftop bar in the square. Great for pre and post-dinner drinks.
Garden at The Cellar
Short walk out the square, but the food's worth it.
Russell House Tavern
Stay upstairs with all the cool kids.
the hong kong
For a more aggressive evening, scorpion bowls and the third floor.
I would stay at: The Charles Hotel
Not necessarily great, but there's not much better.
