While the Square has a variety of traditional dinner-date spots, there are also ways to get creative with more unconventional spots, including my personal favorite: the Charles River. Having grown up in the Cambridge area, some of my favorite memories were made along the Charles River and I’ve made it a goal of mine to […]
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, much of Europe fell into a period of cultural and intellectual stagnation named the “Dark Ages.” For hundreds of years, European nations saw a decline in the production of literature and science—a production that had once been customary. This intellectual catastrophe in history has robbed modern generations […]
The Head of the Charles Regatta is the world’s largest three-day rowing competition, held annually on the Charles River. This year, the regatta celebrates its 60th anniversary. Though centered on commemorating the sport of rowing, the HOCR weekend has evolved into a lively festival that blends spectating a traditional competition with enjoying many other perks […]
It’s 9:30 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 10, and the Square is bustling with people proudly holding distinctive brown bags and sporting hats that read, “Not Famous, But Known.” Music pulses from speakers, mixing with the chatter of Harvard students and curious passersby who turn their heads to get a glimpse of the unfamiliar storefront.

Late at night, I get the urge to ponder. It’s like my version of the munchies, but rather than drug-induced, it’s born from a degree of sobriety that’s almost painful. Instead of my mouth watering for a $2 smashburger or a slice from Joe’s Pizza, I crave meaning—hot, fresh, and preferably delivered in under 30 […]
Boston gave us another Oktoberfest weekend, and we showed up in dirndls, ready to take notes. Same crew (plus Schwanz), same voice recorder, same questionable ideas. This time, our mission was simple: every beer is a sex position. By last call at Lamplighter Brewing Company, we had gathered enough material to offend at least three […]
As fall settles over Cambridge and the air turns crisp, life slowly moves indoors. Patio dinners fade away, the days get shorter, and most importantly, the season of the best food arrives. For those of us in college, we are no longer privy to homemade apple pies and the wonderful bliss of nostalgic kitchen aromas, […]
On the evening of Oct. 4, Sanders Theater was filled with tuning notes as the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra stepped onto the stage, welcoming the buzzing crowd of students and locals eager for their first performance of the year—notably the orchestra’s first appearance since its suspension. The orchestra was suspended for the rest of the fall semester […]
A week before move-in, an upperclassman friend left us with a single piece of advice: “Make the most of freshman year.” In the moment, we brushed her advice off, caught up in the overwhelming whirlwind of settling into college. How would we know what to make the most of before freshman year even began? But […]
For dancers at the Harvard Ballet Company, their work isn’t just about the artistry or showmanship: it’s about community. The organization’s creative energy and talents extend beyond the Harvard campus, fostering camaraderie with the dancers and expanding access to the allure of the ballet world. Founded in 1993, HBC is a student-led organization featuring classical […]
