The cozy feeling behind snowy tunes like "Baby It’s Cold Outside" and "Let It Snow" only lasts several days past Christmas. Now it's almost spring break, and yes, it's still snowing and raining and sleeting. Good ol' Cambridge. To keep you warm and dry and a little less miserable today and tonight, here are some "warm cuts" on campus.
Thayer. Right in the middle of the Yard, Thayer has proven that the joys of freshman year will last throughout our time here: take a walk down memory lane as you enjoy its shelter and freshman innocence for a solid 2-3 minutes.
Annenberg. This one involves stairs, but for those of us headed to CGIS or the Art Museum from the Yard, it pays to head downstairs and cut across Memorial Hall for a quick warm cut. A little exercise is never a bad thing. Bonus: hit up Flyby and get yourself some warm soup while you're there.
Science Center. This building occupies some real fine real estate. You can easily take a warm cut to the Harvard Law School (head left) or to the neighborhood of science buildings up on Oxford Street (walk to the back and turn right).
Holyoke Center. To get to Mt. Auburn St., forget going down Holyoke Street, also known as Cambridge's worst wind tunnel—go through the Holyoke Center, and enjoy the smells of Oggi and Al's as you make your way through, perfectly warm and dry.
Mallinckrodt Lab. Humanities concentrators should be jealous. Somehow, the Mallinckrodt Lab just happens to be built as one of the longest warm cuts on campus: it runs along Oxford Street beginning from the Science Center and ending seemingly never. This wins the warm cut award: Anyone headed to SEAS, the Peabody Museum, or Hoffman Lab can seek refuge from wintry weather for a full 3-4 minutes.
