Harvard students launch a start-up dedicated to Bostonian delicacies. Perhaps there’s something in the water in Kirkland House that engenders an entrepreneurial spirit. First, Mark Zuckerberg, a Kirkland resident, came along and founded Facebook in February 2004. More recently, this past month, Kirkland residents Cara Cuomo ’17 and Jake Levin ’17 founded Boston Foods. While […]
One former art student’s Harvard-subsidized return to watercolors. Beneath the brushed metal, polished wood, and prematurely creaking doors of the renovated Leverett House there lies a quiet and rather out-of-the-way gem for anyone seeking to practice the visual arts in their spare time. The Leverett Art Room, kin to similar art rooms in Dunster and […]
A Review of the Fall 2015 Visiting Director’s Project in the Loeb. Sometimes, life is awkward. Sometimes, you have to go to the Harvard Box Office and say a very strange play title with a very straight face. Sometimes, you walk through the wrong door trying to get to the mainstage of the Loeb Drama […]
Upcoming events in Harvard’s Art Scene Need some weekend plans? Want to immerse yourself into the Harvard art scene? Then read up on upcoming exhibits, lectures, and performances! Popular Paintings Even though the Corita Kent exhibit will be here until May 8, 2016, you should still get out of the blustery fall weather and […]
An exploration of some of the exhibits from the Harvard Library Collections. For all the talk of soothing shelves of books, cool marble paneling (and vinyl-grain wood veneer if you’re in Lamont), and plush armchairs, libraries at Harvard are more often than not innately stressful places. Whether it be a problem set bearing down on […]
Preview to a new production in Agassiz Theater. The Hyperion Shakespeare Company of Harvard is putting on the first of its two shows of semester in the Agassiz Theater this Friday. The play, Shakespeare’s comedy Much Ado About Nothing, is directed by Allegra Caldera ’17, produced by Garrett Maron ’16 and Connie Yan ’16, […]
Boston Bites: The Instagram where pictures are worth 1000 calories. It’s a Friday night, and you are hoping to find a delicious new restaurant with your friends (although we all know how difficult it is to turn down HUDS Swai fish). Where does one go to look for new options? Zagat and Yelp can sometimes […]
The Indy reviews Speak Out Loud’s ‘Celestial Open Mic.’ A semicircle of cold faces, cold toes, and cold fingers. A cold night across the concrete of the Science Center observatory. Faces shadowed by rear floodlights, faces lit by the waxing moon and a single smartphone screen. A voice. A mic. A quiet murmuring of snaps, […]
The Indy reports on the world famous author’s recent visit to Harvard. Standing before a church gathering and asking people to “treat religion with the contempt it deserves” is not everyone’s cup of tea. Unless, of course, you are Salman Rushdie. Last Monday, Cantabrigians had the chance to spend an evening with the Booker-Prize […]
A pre/review of the Harvard Art Museum’s modern art exhibits for the fall. The start of any new semester at Harvard brings with it many well-worn rituals: the usual ‘how-was-your-summer’ inquiries, the inevitable promises to catch up, and the slow babble of lectures and sections (and section kids) all set a soothing rhythm in proffered […]
