Take a look at magazines and newspapers from all over the globe.Right in the middle of the square… Remember to watch for traffic as you make your way into it!
This place, which is right in the middle of Harvard Square, has publications from all over the world. It's small and can be crowded, but for anyone missing their home country newspaper, this is the place to go.
This is place is a classic; there is not much else to say. Just as New York has it's meeting point (under the clock at Grand Central), this is the classic meeting point at Harvard. The selection of magazines and newspapers isn't bad either.
The friendly staff mentioned they were a TA attraction. You can buy tix for the Hahvard Tours here. We also got some drinks for the walking tour. Just outside Harvard T stop.
It is not a particularly easy place to walk around, nor is it exactly a relaxing place to browse--but for variety, it's tough to beat. Extra points for selling postcards as well.
If you like reading your news in the native language of the country in which it is being made, this is the place to get it.
An institution in Harvard Square next to the main entrance of the Red line "T". Every periodical imaginable ( in every language is sold here.
I've been going to Out of Town for French and British magazines and newspapers since I was in college. When visiting friends want to know what's happening in the news at home, I take them here. It's an institution!
The selection of papers and magazines is beyond phenomenal. If it is not here, it does not exist. It is well organized and individual items are easy to find. I heard seven separate languages in a five minute visit.
Smack on the center island of Harvard Square --the navel of the world, according to locals-- there's little one won't find among foreign and/or national magazines and newspapers. Convenient to the T (subway) station, flanked by taxi stands and across from the lovely Harvard University Yard, it's also a stone's throw from the banks of the beautiful Charles River.
