A match-up made in heaven. It’s official: there’s a new bakery-café in town. Tatte opened its doors on October 4th. Though we (and many others) have mourned the loss of Panera, supplier of comfort food on many a school-night, the Indy is excited for this latest addition to Harvard Square.

Skating stars descend on Bright-Landry. The night of Friday, September 9th, a large crowd gathered outside Harvard’s Bright-Landry Hockey Center.

A review of some more of Harvard’s soupy offerings. Spring notionally should offer a respite from the tyranny of the harsh and uniquely Bostonian cold that normally drives so many Harvard students to the soups on offer from Harvard University Dining Services.
