They did replace Ben and Jerry's with a new spot that looked good. But it's also quiet inside and I wish more people came here.

They've tried their best to reinvent themselves for the current times in order to survive which is nice, so they also host traveling exhibits. They still have some classics like the Cheesecake Factory. It's worth a stop in though you can no longer spend the whole day walking around, there's not enough to see and I miss having any of the classic mall food staple snacks. Overall, this place is an institution and I hope they survive.

Updated 8/28/18:…read more When you live near 1 Kendall Square, you realize some things: A. There is no liquor store within a half mile of you. B. Grocery stores are few and far between. C. Restaurants cater to the bio-tech industry = higher prices D. The T isn't close and buses rarely pass through. Parking is available at a garage, probably your best bet on a busy night. E. There are great restaurants and bars, and nightlife is FINALLY increasing! So WHY walk a half mile from the Kendall T Stop in a direction you're pretty sure is leading you to nowhere?

What can you say about Northgate Shopping Plaza???…read more Being a Revere Guy, Northgate has always been my go to place for shopping. It was there before all the fancy malls were around. So it has a special place in my heart, or it's just a bad habit acquired over the past 35 years?? Either way Northgate has evolved quite a bit since the 80's. Northgate now houses a lot of stores including 2 supermarkets, a gym, McDonalds, Taco Bell, a few anchor stores and much much more. The parking lot is extremely large with more than enough spots for everyone even on the busiest of shopping days. This is a one stop eat, bank and shop stop. I give Northgate Shopping Plaza a Solid 4 Stars

The alley is one of the designated graffiti wall in Cambridge early on, although in the past few years street arts has lightened up the streets around the square. Seeing these arts made me feeling happy walking in the streets during the past winter. There has been quite some rebuilding around Central Square. A twenty story building came up on Mass Ave the past year together with newly opened, modern style restaurants.

As a fan of graffiti and pop art I found this to be a real treasure, as there aren't many spots left in this country that allow this art expression in an open, welcomed public forum. If this type of art is not for you, skip it rather than posting a bad review. For those that appreciate this type of expression, it's worth a look if you're in the area. A side note: if this is your jam, check out Quincy Quarries as well. It's worth the drive.
