Review:
Harvard Square is the central business district and historic center of Cambridge. It is a triangular plaza located at the intersection of Battle Street, John F. Kennedy Street, and Massachusetts Avenue. Sometimes called the Square by locals, Harvard Square is adjacent to Harvard Yard, the center of Harvard University.
The Square functions as the commercial center of the city as well as for students of the university. The square is a vibrant area full of bookstores, coffee shops, hotels, restaurants, boutique shops, and theaters. Because it is a high pedestrian area, Harvard Square is known for its lively street performers.
