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.
Stocked with a large variety of groceries and Korean and Japanese goods, H-Mart is both a place to find unique foods and get the grocery shopping done. Plus, there’s often samples so if you’re not ready to buy a new brand of mochi or soba noodles, there’s a chance you’ll be able to try it first.
