Restaurant-goers who seek to avoid cheese fries, smothered hot dogs, and the company of others should flock to Shay's Wine Bar and Cafe, located across from the Galeria on JFK Street.

Bailey's (21 Brattle St.) is good for old-fashioned ice cream parlor ambiance and real hot fudge sauce, which is well...
...annual Janus Film Festival with movies by popular Eastern and Western European directors. Films from the fifties like James Dean's classic Rebel Without A Cause and and an occasional late night 1960s film will round out the rest of the summer. The Janus Theater (57 JFK in the Galeria) also shows foreign films, though it is currently featuring Desperately Seeking Susan...
