Longfellow Bar Opens in Cambridge’s Harvard Square | Eater Boston

"At 40 Brattle St., I can feel the building's long culinary and architectural history: the space housed the beloved Casablanca from the mid-1950s until 2012, later became home to Michael Scelfo’s Alden & Harlow in 2014, and until just last year hosted Cafe Algiers upstairs. The structure itself—designed by the Boston firm Longfellow, Alden & Harlow, which also worked on Cambridge City Hall—retains original features that anchor its character, from exposed brick and square-head nails to untouched windows and a cathedral-style ceiling on the second floor." - Oset Babur
