Nestled in between Ivy League institution Harvard and the science and technology hub that is MIT, Central Square is the melting pot of Cambridge. Constantly bustling with people from all walks of life, regardless of the time of day, the square is packed with ethnic restaurants and is home to one of Boston’s most revered music venues. Be sure to bring some green– a lot of hot spots are cash-only.
Artist and Craftsman isn’t the only art supplies store on the block, but the multi-colored basement has its charm. Wander through the aisles and discover everything from tiny plastic dinosaurs and farm animals to spray paint cans and markers of all colors of the rainbow. P.S. Students get a discount.
