Harvard Square is a delight for the senses. Hear the music playing from street performers as you pass, see history come to life as you step through the gates of Harvard University, smell the food cooking when you walk by the restaurants that are all around, taste what those restaurants have to offer, and touch the goods sold in the many specialty stores within the four square miles that is Harvard Square. Shopping here is an eclectic mix of mainstream and funky finds that will delight even those who have it all. Smaller shop owners are often inside to offer you the personal touch as you peruse their shelves.
