A Practical Guide to Life at Harvard: Part IV – Feed Me!
•
Looking for reasonably priced froyo at 3 a.m.? CVS offers Ben and Jerry's brand froyo for a mere $5.79 a pint.
Far away from the comforts of home, many of us are flabbergasted when confronted with the basic requirements of acting (and looking) like civilized human beings. This guide will serve as a roadmap to navigating the challenges of taking care of yourself in Cambridge.
In the final installment of this four-part series, we will be covering delis and markets for those days when you just can’t stomach another variation of d-hall chicken.
Broadway Marketplace
468 Broadway
Boasting a wide variety of specialty foods, organic groceries, gluten-free treats, tasty desserts, and daily hot meals, Broadway Marketplace is an excellent place to shop if you are looking for foods that aren’t shrink-wrapped in basement vending machines. Show your Harvard ID on weekends and save 10% off of your purchase.
Sarah’s Market and Café
200 Concord Ave.
With the combination of a cute checkered floor and more wooden wine racks than you’ve seen in a long time, Sarah’s offers a surprisingly down-to-earth atmosphere in addition to its selection of foods and snacks. With breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus that seem to stretch on longer than your coursepack readings, you can be assured that Sarah’s has something to satisfy your non-d-hall dietary needs.
Cardullo's Gourmet Shoppe
6 Brattle St.
A quaint, if somewhat illogically structured little shop, Cardullo’s sells deli meats and sandwiches and a wide variety of foreign and specialty treats (some of which will remind you of your Grandma, if you know what we mean). Be sure to check out their assortment of fancy crackers and cheeses for when you want to throw a classy party in your dorm.
CVS
1426 Massachusetts Ave
Okay, we understand that you’ve probably been to CVS at some point during your stay here at Harvard. The convenience translates to higher prices, but let’s face it: very few places offer so much in so little space. Make sure to sign up for an Extra Care card to snag some additional savings and earn money off of future purchases.
Market In the Square
60 Church St.
Rivaling CVS with 24/7 hour service, Market In the Square offers both hot and cold food bars in addition to a limited assortment of pricey grocery goods. For all of your late night hankerings for food, you can go out well past Noch’s and Felipe’s closing times and try one of Market In the Square's Boar’s Head sandwiches.
