Harvard students will probably avoid the new establishment the same way they steer clear of Pizzeria Uno's (unless those who are underaged simply have a horrible fake I.D.) and for the same reasons: It's commercial, antiseptic and boring.

Inside the house it's a toasty 72[degrees]F, with just a few lights on. The electric fireplace has just started up, and soft music emanates from the stereo.
