Located in the heart of the Harvard campus, the Harvard Book Store, The Harvard Crimson, The Harvard Lampoon, a semi-secret Sorrento Square social organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine, and five Houses (Adams, Quincy, Lowell, Leverett and Winthrop) touch the street.
