A New Tavern Opens in the Square
Yesterday night, as we walked past the old Z Square location at 14 JFK St., we noticed something intriguing. The windows were still covered up, no indications of a new business were immediately evident (at least, from where we were standing)...yet there were definitely people inside. We peeked through the door and saw a placard that said something along the lines of "Russell House Tavern closed for a private function." Interesting, we thought. When had a Russell House Tavern opened in Harvard Square?

If you’re still suffering from hot-breakfast withdrawal, head over to Subway, which started serving breakfast this past Monday.

Where to Eat on the Last Day of Restaurant Week
Sadly, Boston’s 2010 Winter Restaurant Week ends today. Since there’s really only day left, we thought we’d suggest a few local Cambridge options where you can enjoy either a two-course lunch for $15.10, a three-course lunch for $20.10, or a three-course dinner for $33.10. Even if you don’t have time, make time, as subsidized HUDS alternatives are few and far between.
