    Small shopping center with all your needs (grocery, pharmacies, gyms, bookstore, dunkins, BRUEGGERS, and emack & bolio's). Quirky area.

    I love Porter Square, especially the little mall with the Japanese shops and restaurants; very authentic, inexpensive and yummy?

    All of you Porter haters can stick to Davis and Harvard and live among hipsters and pretentious people respectively.

    Kendall Square/MIT

    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? Here are 10 respectable reasons involving food and at least one non-food related ... Amelia's Not actually IN 1 Kendall Sq, but only a block south on Portland Street. Italian. Small, intimate. Pricey, but tasty. Atasca For Portugese fine dining just beyond Emma's about 500 ft. Outdoor seating. The Beantown Coffeehouse Open on weekdays, but not late. Good muffins, coffee, sandwiches (of the breakfast and lunch type) Beauty's Pizza Take-out pizza, doughy and tasty, loaded toppings. Not IN the square, but not far... Bon Me Yeah, you know that food truck? It has claimed space here, too. Cafe du Pays Cambridge Brewing Company (CBC) Fresh brewed beer by CBC and food. Outdoor seating. Flattop Johnny's Bunch of pool tables, two dart boards. Outdoor seating. Tuesday Ladies' Night (50% discount for pool) The Friendly Toast Kitschy retro diner style - menu full of made up words like "Miscellany" Kendall Cinema Not for mainstream movie viewing. Independent. The Smoke Shop BBQ Casual restaurant. Outdoor seating. State Park Cocktails, concept eating and drinking. Outdoor dining. Sadly, the following restaurants that used to be in/near this location have closed: Anise The Blue Room Emma's Pizza Hungry Mother Shine Tommy Doyle's West Bridge

The whole atmosphere is cold, not inviting and boring. No distinction, character or charm. Before there used to be. Under better prior management I presume. Removing the iconic waterfall? Big mistake. It was elegantly paved with small penny fountains. It was timeless. This urge to just nuke what was beloved to make everything look like a clinical and soulless hallway. All employees at almost every store are glued to their phone and not present at all to customers. You don't make money that way. Even the joke of security guards are glued to their phones outside Gucci. What a joke. In unpredictable and trying times like these, inflation isn't going anywhere and high end stores need to actually try. It was never this catered to the 1%. You could actually go to a restaurant or store and not feel like you've been robbed and facing a debt to pay off for a year. Management can waste their breath saying that Copley was simply updated to keep up with trends. Well, you failed. There's no heart, hardly any selection, all classic architectural which features attracted people from all over the world - destroyed where you do not know where you are. What once was a place of wonderment, excitement and to spark your Christmas Spirit, is now simply a drain of disappointment as you go home with a sigh. Management - you don't have to bother responding. You obviously made decisions to destroy the good made by top notch engineers. It's too late. Sad.
