Bosso Ramen Tavern, a Japanese restaurant inspired by the ocean, has been quietly testing the waters in Harvard Square (24 Holyoke Street, Cambridge) this month, with a grand opening planned for March 26, 2022.
Although ramen is highlighted in the restaurant’s name, Bosso isn’t a casual ramen shop; it’s a full-service izakaya meant for dates and gatherings, says owner Yasu Sasago, with an extensive menu of options beyond ramen.
Despite his cadre of supporters, most who passed through Harvard Square were never aware of a man known as Michael or his daily life that unfolded in full view of each of them. They were equally oblivious when he died Nov. 18, 2021 in the Bank of America entryway.
Kody Christiansen, a Harvard Extension School student, was among the first to find Michael lying face-first on the sidewalk, before the bank’s front door early the next morning. Just days before, Christiansen had offered Michael a blanket at the shelter.
Christiansen called 911.
The unique partnership takes a holistic approach to boosting health, with a second location coming to the South End soon.
Bryan Timko wanted to create a space for the yoga-loving, green juice-drinking public in Boston — and so he did.
Early this month, Timko’s Life Alive Cafes opened a hybrid vegetarian cafe and yoga studio in Harvard Square. It sells açaí bowls and algae smoothies on John F. Kennedy Street. But behind and below the kitchen are two yoga studios, equipped with heated hardwood floors, touch screen televisions, and teachers from the Down Under School of Yoga.
CAMBRIDGE (CBS) — Residents of Cambridge, Massachusetts should consider themselves lucky – a recent survey identifying the “Best Cities To Live In America” ranks the liberal enclave second in the country.
Cambridge received an overall grade of “A+” from the review site Niche. The city earned an A+ or A in the categories of public schools, family friendliness, nightlife, outdoor activities, diversity, health and fitness and commuting. Cambridge got a C or C+ in the areas of housing, cost of living and crime and safety.
The only city ranked ahead of Cambridge was The Woodlands in Texas. Click here to see the full list.
Cambridge was also named the best city in the country for young professionals.
“Living in Cambridge offers residents an urban feel and most residents rent their homes. In Cambridge there are a lot of bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and parks,” Niche states. “Many young professionals live in Cambridge and residents tend to be liberal.”
Other Boston-area communities also shine on Niche’s review platform. Lexington was ranked seventh on the company’s list of the “Suburbs With The Best Public Schools in America.” Wayland was 23rd on that list, and was also highlighted for being the sixth-best suburb to raise a family.
Niche said it came up with its “Best Places To Live” rankings based on Census, FBI, Bureau of Labor Statistics and CDC data, as well as resident reviews.
As the final days of Cambridgian winters draw to an end (save a few snowstorms interspersed between 60-degree days), Harvard students begin to emerge from their thinly insulated colonial dorms and shed their goose-feather overcoats in exchange for sunglasses and T-shirts. Nothing could be more timely than the opening of Harvard Square’s newest establishment and blackhole for college student dollars: Life Alive.
Roughly 200 people gathered at Harvard Square’s Sanctuary Theater on Sunday to watch Cambridge for Ukraine, a performance and fundraising event organized by Jose Mateo Ballet Theatre Dance for World Community.
Cambridge Mayor Sumbul Siddiqui addressed the audience, alongside Harvard’s Ukrainian Research Institute publications manager Oleh Kotsyuba, University of Massachusetts professor Darren Kew, and activist Brian Corr. The performances featured numerous types of dancing as well as St. Andrew’s Ukrainian Orthodox Church Choir.
It’s been hit hard by the pandemic but BUFF — the 22nd Boston Underground Film Festival — is climbing back, on March 23.
“BUFF hasn’t changed that much since I’ve been running it with my partner Nicole McControversy. COVID changed things the most,” allowed artistic director Kevin Monahan.
“We were canceled in 2020 and we didn’t have one in 2021. COVID has ushered in this era of streaming and online screenings.”
As to what exactly constitutes “underground” these days, “We like weird world cinema. The esoteric with a global perspective on underground — which means different things to different people. We define it as ‘strange international.’”
