They've tried their best to reinvent themselves for the current times in order to survive which is nice, so they also host traveling exhibits. They still have some classics like the Cheesecake Factory. It's worth a stop in though you can no longer spend the whole day walking around, there's not enough to see and I miss having any of the classic mall food staple snacks. Overall, this place is an institution and I hope they survive.

I've been randomly coming to the Faneuil Hall Marketplace ever since I was a kid. I couldn't tell…read moreyou what I ate here on my first trip with my parents before my first ever Boston Red Sox game in the mid 90's, but I do know that I had a blast coming here and seeing all the different food stands and random vendors lined below the building. I was able to return here for lunch a few weeks back in 2026 and I had just as much fun walking around now then I did back then. The place was packed on a Saturday afternoon and a whole lot of people were trying to get some seafood, pizza, ice cream, baked goods, Italian, and various other things and it was cool to see this place still so lively so many years later. Now, I'll be honest here, the food I ate kind of sucked but that's just one of the vendors fault, not the entire hall so I'm still going to give this place five stars. The building itself is stunning and is one of the original buildings in the area (If i'm not mistaken) and has a long hall of different food vendors, seating upstairs, and some restaurants downstairs as well as mall kiosk like shops (get rid of the crappy temu vendors, please). Overall, There's like 50 different places you could eat at that will give you drastically different experiences, so why not come as much as you can given the opportunity. This trip was my first time in about 7 years and even though the food I got was not good, I don't regret coming back to Faneuil Hall and I will absolutely be coming back on my next trip to Boston.

It's extremely organized and it's clean. I love coming here!

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. The Smoke Shop BBQ Casual restaurant. Outdoor seating. State Park Cocktails, concept eating and drinking. Outdoor dining.

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.

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.
