You could easily spend a day here popping in and out of what's offered. We enjoyed strolling leisurely with our little dog as well as sun and conversation on various comfortable outside patios with treats in hand. Parking isn't always easy, but we were lucky and grabbed a spot. Free 3 hour parking is offered at the parking garages. Also noticed that Assembly Row is located near the "T" and that the Orange line stops near. Very convenient! Nice place to visit and enjoy some time.

Updated 8/28/18:…read more When you live near 1 Kendall Square, you realize some things: A. There is no liquor store within a half mile of you. B. Grocery stores are few and far between. C. Restaurants cater to the bio-tech industry = higher prices D. The T isn't close and buses rarely pass through. Parking is available at a garage, probably your best bet on a busy night. E. There are great restaurants and bars, and nightlife is FINALLY increasing! So WHY walk a half mile from the Kendall T Stop in a direction you're pretty sure is leading you to nowhere? Here are 10 respectable reasons involving food and at least one non-food related ... Amelia's Not actually IN 1 Kendall Sq, but only a block south on Portland Street. Italian. Small, intimate. Pricey, but tasty. Atasca For Portugese fine dining just beyond Emma's about 500 ft. Outdoor seating. The Beantown Coffeehouse Open on weekdays, but not late. Good muffins, coffee, sandwiches (of the breakfast and lunch type) Beauty's Pizza Take-out pizza, doughy and tasty, loaded toppings. Not IN the square, but not far... Bon Me Yeah, you know that food truck? It has claimed space here, too. Cafe du Pays Cambridge Brewing Company (CBC) Fresh brewed beer by CBC and food. Outdoor seating. Flattop Johnny's Bunch of pool tables, two dart boards. Outdoor seating. Tuesday Ladies' Night (50% discount for pool) The Friendly Toast Kitschy retro diner style - menu full of made up words like "Miscellany" Kendall Cinema Not for mainstream movie viewing. Independent.

I went in wanting to buy some designer glasses and another customer was already running around the store trying to get someone to open the cases to try on some glasses. Once she found help for us, I asked if I could try a couple on too. I was told by the sales associate that only one person at a time can be helped. Fine. I waited for another 10 minutes for the other client to choose which glasses she would buy. The sales associate then told me she had to go help them at the register and needed to find the cases for the glasses too. Another 15 minutes went by. At that point I just left. They're clearly not interested in making a sale. Such a shame because before this lock up situation, I used to buy all my glasses from this location. Looks like I'll need to find another store.

The alley is one of the designated graffiti wall in Cambridge early on, although in the past few years street arts has lightened up the streets around the square. Seeing these arts made me feeling happy walking in the streets during the past winter. There has been quite some rebuilding around Central Square. A twenty story building came up on Mass Ave the past year together with newly opened, modern style restaurants. I hope the local stores and restaurants in the 2-3 story copper stained and dark brown buildings around the square willI all survive the hardship and open up very soon.

As a fan of graffiti and pop art I found this to be a real treasure, as there aren't many spots left in this country that allow this art expression in an open, welcomed public forum. If this type of art is not for you, skip it rather than posting a bad review. For those that appreciate this type of expression, it's worth a look if you're in the area. A side note: if this is your jam, check out Quincy Quarries as well. It's worth the drive.
