Shopping

Need some funky shoes or any kind of socks or footwear that you can think of? A great selection, a small, local truly Cambridge shop. Buy some socks and then go next door to Bagelsaurus for a bagel!

OK, you can be in a world class art museum if you walk 15 minutes from Smack Dab - you don't even have to call an Uber, or ride the T. This is a beautiful museum, recently renovated to merge several museums into one. If you have time, I highly encourage you to go.

Take time to enjoy the displays of this amazing institution - the Glass Flowers, the mineral room, the preserved animals from every continent, artifacts from indigenous peoples, so many things are housed here. It's a large museum, with a small, often old-fashioned feel. It is a gem of a museum.

Huge, but manageable, world class art museum. Get lost in it. It's worth your time.

This is an amazing coffeeshop in Harvard Square. I'd say, next to Simon's, it's my favorite. Two floors, white tile, amazing European-style confections, great lemonade (not too sweet), just a great place to hang out and watch the Harvard Square crowd interact.

Amazing European style confections, chocolate-based and otherwise, amazing coffee. You feel like you are NOT in Harvard Square, but somewhere where time is not a commodity. It 's been here for a long time, relatively speaking, which speaks to its high standards.

People come from ALL OVER to get these bagels, and you can bite into one after a 5 minute walk. This may be the best bagel you will ever eat. Run there, if you love bagels.
