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.
Most nights, The Middle East hosts multiple bands, with multiple stages throughout the space. Enjoy Lebanese cuisine and a PBR for under 10 bucks upstairs, before heading to the back (“Upstairs”) or downstairs to catch everything from touring rock acts to local hip hop artists.
