    Stayed about 3 mins walk from Porter Square, where there is a supermarket, a book shop that has great coffee, Dunkin donuts and more. Its a great little local shopping centre.

    Quieter than Harvard Square but also has a good bookstore and cafes. Convenient to shop at when getting off the T at Porter Square.

    If you are staying at one of the 2 hotels, hit the local bars and restaurants. Be careful crossing the streets.
