CAMBRIDGE Why crossing the river should make it onto your to do list by Samantha House

R

ife with history, Cambridge has a great deal to offer, including a few things you can’t find in Boston. Start the day by walking from Boston to Cambridge on the Weeks Footbridge. Solely for pedestrians, this bridge is a popular spot for watching the Head of the Charles Regatta, the world’s largest rowing event.

Once crossed, you’ll be in Harvard Square, home to Harvard University. Take a free student-led tour around campus. While Cambridge boasts an impressive offering of galleries and museums, The MIT Museum (refer to listing, page 26) is a standout as it spotlights inventions, ideas and innovations.

While in Kendall Square, visit The Garment District (refer to listing, page 27), a vintage mecca featuring up to 40,000 pieces of clothing for sale each day. Stop at the “By The Pound” section to sift through a pile of clothes and pay a mere $1.50 for each pound. For dinner, dine at one of Cambridge’s 300+ restaurants, including

Ask An Insider The dish on places to be and people to see from a local expert

Denise Jillson, Executive Director at Harvard Square Business Association, gives her take on the must-sees of Harvard Square.

Where should a visitor go to mix with locals? Tommy Doyle’s is a big student hangout—you can’t get more local than that.

Tell us something we may not know about Harvard Square. It continues to be a great

place for street performers.

Both Tracy Chapman and Amanda Palmer (pictured) got their starts in Harvard Square as buskers.

Give us both a budget friendly and a luxury night recommendation. If I were on a budget, I would start at Grendel’s Den for beer and appetizers, followed by a sunset river walk. For a luxury night out, I would start at Corbu Spa then have tea at Upstairs on the Square. After, a stroll to The Grolier Poetry Book Store, then Harvest for a late-night dinner.

CAMBRIDGE NIGHTS Activities Beyond the Bar More than just pulling a seat up to the bar, these activity-centered outings are an inspired way to spend an evening in Cambridge. Comedy and nudity combine when bare-bodied comedians perform weekly at ImprovBoston (refer to listing, page 24). If you prefer the swathed variety, The Comedy Studio (refer to listing, page 24) located on the third floor of Asian eatery Hong Kong (refer to listing, page 26) is a stellar choice. Brush up on your Lindy Hop at MIT during the school’s social swing dance night or locate your Latin rhythm with salsa dancing at Ryles Dance Hall (217 Hampshire St., 617-876-9330). For more adventurous types, The Cantab Lounge (738 Massachusetts Ave., 617354-2685) hosts Boston’s Poetry Slam, beginning with an open mic and concluding with a battle of eight poets.

“Geeks Who Drink” should check out trivia and karaoke night at Tommy Doyle’s (pictured above, 96 Winthrop St., 617-864-0655). While Cambridge is riddled with impressive live music venues, The Middle East (refer to listing, page 24) is a must-visit with shows happening every night. —Bailey Marquis

THE CHARLES HOTEL One Bennett St., Cambridge 617-864-1200 www.charleshotel.com

Both the fashionable set and devout foodies flock to The Charles Hotel. With two acclaimed restaurants— Henrietta’s Table, a farm-totable concept, and fine dining favorite, Rialto—discerning diners have plenty to satisfy their hunger. Music lovers can find enjoyment at the legendary Regattabar, host to leading jazz and world music talents.

Decadent Noir (pictured above) fuses 1940s flair with a relaxing ambiance for those who like to mix and mingle amid stylish surroundings. Guests searching for a true retreat need look no further than Corbu Spa & Salon, the newest addition to Charles Hotel’s already impressive fleet of offerings.

SUSTAINABLE CULINARY CREATIONS AREA FOUR 500 Technology Square, Cambridge 617-758-4444 www.areafour.com

With awards from Bon Appetit, Food and Wine and Gourmet for his previous work at Newton eatery Lumiere, Chef Michael Leviton is seasoned in his ability to satisfy an array of tastes. He brings this skill to his newest Cambridge venture, Area Four, which relies heavily on local providers for its fare. Area Four consists of two sides: A bakery/coffeehouse and an oven/casual bar separated by an 8 x 8 foot reclaimed barn door which is opened at night to create a free flow. The café area bakes up two batches of pastries and desserts daily, while serving java from local bean crafters. The oven section houses two large custom-made woodfired ovens that serve as both the focal point of the dining space as well as the primary means of cooking. The menu is globally inspired, offering a range of fare, including the popular crunchy shaved brussel sprouts with Tuscan kale, pecorino cheese, lemon vinaigrette and toasted hazelnuts.

CLUB OBERON 2 Arrow St., Cambridge www.cluboberon.com

One might think a venue named for a character in a Shakespeare play would host only the most high-minded, serious performances. If that venue is Club Oberon in Harvard Square, the second stage for American Repertory Theater, then that assumption would be dead wrong.

Exhibit A happens every Saturday night when A.R.T.’s The Donkey Show (pictured above, refer to listing, page 26 )—a raucous re-imagining of the Bard’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream— erupts all around the audience while a sound track of ’70s disco anthems gets bootys shaking.

The club/theater also hosts another wild-and-crazy theatrical experience on Friday nights when the Gold Dust Orphan’s dark new production of camp classic The Rocky Horror Show is staged. Revelers hungry from doing “The Hustle” or “The Time Warp” can grab late-night eats at nearby Dolphin Seafood (refer to listing, page 26), which offers $1 raw bar specials Friday and Saturday from 9:30 p.m.– midnight.

ust across the Charles River from Boston, Cambridge is a diverse and cosmopolitan city abounding with art, culture, fine dining and exceptional shopping.

Central Square is the social center for Cambridge, with great restaurants, bars and music venues such as the Middle East Cafe, T.T. the Bear’s Place and The Cantab Lounge.

Harvard Square is home to Harvard University’s sprawling campus, including its associated theaters and museums. In addition, visitors flock to the neighborhood for a diverse range of retail shops, restaurants, coffee shops, bars and clubs that offer something to satisfy every taste.
