...honor of the Superheroes Dance—an event held last Friday night to raise money for cancer research—the Bat Signal shone on Lowell Bell Tower. From 10 p.m. until 2 a.m., dancing, student group performances, and gourmet cupcakes filled Lowell Dining Hall. The event, organized by Matthew Bird ’10, Heidi L. Hirschl ’10, and Ethel D. Bressman ’10, featured The Harvard University Drummers and EXP, the traveling members of Expressions. Their goals were simple: raise money for cancer, give student groups an outlet to perform, and show...

So if you're ever jonesing for Yorkshire pudding in Shanghai, head to West Nanjing Road...
...this is not a supermarket. If you’re looking for the basics, you’re better off shopping the aisles of CVS than Market in the Square, which is more likely to carry your favorite brand of obscure Japanese cookies than a jar of Skippy. This gourmet locale across the street from American Apparel sells what store manager David Kim calls “a weird mixture of foods,” including exotic teas and gluten-free treats at prices comparable to Broadway Market. But Market in the Square brings a much-needed element to Harvard...
