why go?
Across the street from the Brookline Booksmith is the Paris Creperie, one of the most hopping food joints in Coolidge Corner. The Creperie is usually packed on the weekends but the wait is worth it. The menu includes savory and sweet crepes, as well as a ton of delicious smoothies and milkshakes to choose from. Try the signature Nutella frozen hot chocolate, it will change your life.

destination: COOLIDGE MOVIE THEATRE located at:
290 Harvard Street why go? If you’re looking for a bit of history you’ll come across it here. Originally built as a church in 1906, the Coolidge was redesigned as a theater in 1933. Today it is the most successful independent, not-for-profit cinema in New England. You won’t find big budget blockbusters here. Instead check out the latest indie flick or a screening of an old classic like Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
