Always Relaxing
by mscollegebound at Citysearch
It's a nice place to go and relax with a nice cup of coffee or tea. No stresses or worries at the square... and you can always walk around the lovely campus of Harvard.

BRATTLE CINEMA
by wakywitch at Citysearch
Harvard Square is great.
Check out the Brattle cinema for cutting edge movies, not your usual run of the mill movies, and get a bite to eat @ Casablanca's.
Great for people watching. The COOP bookstore has a great selection of books, new and used, plus a bunch of "cheap discounted" books!
I have brought my kids here, but not at night!
- Pros: Brattle theater, Coop bookstore, people watching
- Cons: snobby people, no parking, can get crowded
