Ramen coming to Harvard Square soon. By ADAM WONG The word is out: Santouka, a Japan-based ramen chain, is opening within smelling distance of the Harvard Inn and Wigglesworth. Lucky for them too, because by the beginning of second semester, the new ramen joint will be cooking up the kingpin of modern Japanese cuisine complete […]
The Cambridge classic now has a rooftop bar. By Adam Wong and Dana Ferrante It was dark times in 02138. Last spring, Felipe’s, our true savior for the midnight munchies, vanished, and was banished to a little, cramped corner of Flat Patties. Throughout last semester we looked longingly at the promising new location, then boarded […]
The excitement and splendor of the Harvard Art Museums Student Opening By HERDA XHAFERAJ Thursday, November 6th, was an atypical night for the many curious Harvard students who patiently waited in line for tickets to the Harvard Art Museum student opening.

This idea to share the good and the bad is brought to screen well in […]
BY ANDREW LIN A look at Western decline in the 1970s and its artistic portrayal.
