I absolutely refuse to recommend the best cheap restaurant in the Square (it’s Charlie’s Kitchen—order their hamburger platter!), or the best karaoke bar in Boston (the Purple Shamrock by Faneuil Hall—look for the fat, pelvic-thrusting thirty-something singing “I Be Strokin”), or the best place to see a movie for less than nine bucks (Kendall Theater in Davis Square?...
