The Best Restaurants in Porter Square, Cambridge | Eater Boston

"Casual hangout Cambridge Common has a big central bar that doles out a rotating lineup of exceptional craft beers like Bissel Brothers’ Substance and Foam Brewing’s Dead Flowers IPA. It has some hearty and comforting dishes (including mac and cheese, a long list of burgers and sandwiches, and classic tater tots) and a filling brunch menu. Be sure to check out the music venue downstairs, Lizard Lounge." - Nathan Tavares

We had a picnic in the park. It was really odd because there were homeless junkies just sleeping on a mattress in the park🤷‍♀️ there were also non looking homeless people just sleeping in the park...like oh I got tired let me just go to sleep in the grass😳. So weird. The history in the park was amazing! The statues and the stories they told were awesome! Great learning experience for the kids it Boston seriously needs to clean up their parks.

Really beautiful park in Boston! It is truly beautiful! It is surrounded by the beautiful architecture of Harvard University. There is a really nice playground with a unique set up. It is non traditional in the respect that it is not set up like a normal playground.

Located near Harvard Square, this park is perfect for walks, picnics, and enjoying the playground. The historic monuments add charm, making it a great spot to relax and unwind in Cambridge.

Beautiful public park for walking and recreation while also a remarkable tribute and historic site marking the heart of the American Revolution and where Washington first took command of the revolutionary army. Special bonus is the new monument for the African American soldiers who fought and died in the revolution. So many aspects of this part of American history have been overlooked and underrepresented and this was a touching part of the park.

Although it was cold we enjoyed our time here during golden hour. Plenty to do, a safe one entry/exit fence hedged in climbing hydrangeas, large sandbox and stroller friendly throughout. Looks like there's an awesome water table feature and small splash pad for in-season park going as well. We also noticed many birds.

This was a great little park in the middle of a bit of crazy. We parked along the side (25 cents for every 10 minutes with a 2 hour limit) tons of history and a pretty cool playground. Had a picnic under the tree that Washington took control of the army under during the Revolution and then walked over the Harvard and strolled around. Very neat, unplanned and unexpected stop on our New England trip.
