...Tommy's Lunch, (at the corner of Plympton and Mt. Auburn Sts.) the favorite place for late might (open until 2 a.m.) lovers of cheese steak and pinball. And the trappes (Bostonese for milkshake) are good and thick. Theu, of course, there's the Mug and Muffin (1382 Mass. Ave), a good place to watch the locals and overhear pretentious conversations taking place in a crowd of cigarette smoke. The muffins aren't bad and the coffee is free flowing...
Unless someone else is paying, you probably won't see The Harvest (44 Brattle St.), which sports an outdoor garden and a quintessentially yuppie crowd. More reasonable is Autre Chose (1105 Mass. Ave.), with excellent French provincial specialities that aren't exhorbitant. The Swiss Alps (where Brattle and Mt. Auburn Sts. meet) offers some tasty and reasonably priced cheesey entrees with lots of rich sauces for the cholesterol fan. Upstairs at the Pudding (10 Holyoke St.) is expensive and trendy and clearly designed for after the theater. That's the best--and maybe the only--excuse for going...
...there's one thing that rivals the preeminence of sandwich spots in the Square, it's Chinese food, clearly the best of the possible international fare. The Hong Kong (1236 Mass. Ave.) is easily the best-known and most flamboyantly colored Chinese restaurant in the Square. The Kong's food, especially the Peking Ravioli, is best when sampled alongside one of the exotic drinks. Kong food is also good late at night when every other place is closed. Wei Tai (95 Winthrop St.) and Ta Chien (10 Eliot St.), under the same management, have the Square's best Chinese food...
...also where you can catch President Bok eating his daily breakfast. And, if that doesn't tempt you, try the better-than-average deli selections and beers from more than 30 countries. For Greek food there's Skewers (92 Mt. Auburn St.) and The Acropolis (1600 Mass. Ave). Neither place is too fancy or expensive, and both serve authentic dishes. For Italian, there's a decent place toward Central Square; La Groceria (853 Main St.), which specializes in North Italian cuisine. For Japanese fare, there's Roka (Eliot St.) a small spot that gets raves from sushi addicts. Also check...
...Steve's, since everybody has heard of the granddaddy of them all. At Herrell's, however, you can sample a variety of less exotic, but deliciously sweet, ice cream without dealing with the crushing crowds. Steve's/Herrell's dissidents will insist that Emack and Bolio's (1310 Mass. Ave) is the best in the Square. There's a lot of truth to their argument. Try the chocolate-and-Health-bar-dipped gourmet cones. On the other hand, if you go more for the simpler flavors, there's Baskin Robbins (1230 Mass. Ave). Neon-lit Haagen Daz (in the Galeria...
