This is an affordable, popular neighborhood restaurant. Average-to-good food at good prices. There's a big bar in the center, and TV viewing at the bar and on one side of the restaurant. At the end of our street on Mass Ave. Under the restaurant is a music venue called The Lizard Lounge.

This is as much a bar as a restaurant. Well-known for a great variety of delicious hamburgers. This is not fast food; be prepared to wait for 15 minutes or more for your hamburger.

Our favorite pizza joint in the neighborhood. They deliver (617-864-8090). Little in the way of atmosphere, and no alcohol, but great pizza. And we love the Greek salad. A short walking distance from our house.

We love this place! A cafe with a warm European atmosphere. This is a great place to go for breakfast, and also for lunch. Very friendly proprieters who are from Algeria. We highly recommend it! A short walk from our house.

We love this restaurant. They have a great cod entree (we don't eat meat so we haven't tried any of their many meat dishes) and a unique and delicious Ceasar salad, which is big enough to share (and which they will split for you in the kitchen if you ask for that). A short walk from our house.

A great atmosphere and good tapas restaurant. Tell them it's your birthday and they'll sing. A bit of a walk (10 or so minutes) but not too far.

One of our new favorite restaurants in Harvard Square. A 60's themed restaurant with an interesting menu. At brunch they have live music playing in the back, and probably in the evening, too (though we haven't tried that yet).

Getting Around

Turn right from our house and walk to the end of our street. Cross Beacon Street, and walk straight with Star Market on your right. There's a foot tunnel (unfortunately, usually dirty) which is a short cut to Somerville Ave. When you come out there, you'll see the Hertz immediately on your right.
