...Square is indeed one of the most exhilirating cultural and commercial centers in the country. The University (at once sagely academic and youthful), the affluent neighborhood to the west down Brattle St. and the less affluent, heavily ethnic neighborhoods at the northern and eastern ends of Mass. Ave, all combine into a cultural potpourri. This hybrid probably boasts the nation's highest concentration and variety of both ice cream and bookstores (including the oldest foreign language bookstore in the United States.) Harvard Square, as much as Harvard itself, draws tourists, soul-searchers, and cosmopolitans to mid-Cambridge--or at least...

Two P. a wood paneled modern bar/restaurant which, depending on who you ask, is either a fun place to go or a pseudo-artificial hangout. If you side with the former, One Potato offers a great view of the action on Mass. Ave As you watch the people walk by, try the Bloody Mary ($2 10) served in a large glass measuring...
Varsity Liquors (1390 Mass Ave) This store tucked away at the corner of JFK St, and Mass. Ave next to the Tasty, has a smaller selection than the Pro but is a few steps closer to the Square. It offers Bud for $14 99 and Heincken Gordon's goes for $6.99 a liter and Beefeater for $11 a fifth. Varsity is open 9 a.m. 10:30 p.m. every day except for Sunday...
