    Parking around here is all metered, so make sure you bring quarters! Or you could take the T; Harvard Square is just a 5 minute walk away.

    Be sure to stop in Nubar in the Commander Hotel for a drink or dinner. Its the best neighborhood restaurant in the area plus they have outside seating.

    Amazing playground here for the kiddos. Great equipment; not your standard out-of-a-box play structures!

    George Washington's old stomping grounds. No, literally. He rode a horse.

    If you're heading to Harvard Law, get off the 72/74/78 bus here instead of the station.
