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.
Stop in at this cozy spot and you’ll see Jamal Abu-Rubieh cooking behind the counter. The walls are covered with local work by local artists and the pancakes are always hot and ready. You won’t find a friendlier bunch than the staff at Brookline Lunch.
