Little \'18, secretary to the University and master of Adams House, said last night.

Hipster Hangouts: Clover
I’ve been accused of being many things in my day: a fool, a bro, a ‘God-damn liberal.’ But never a hipster; which is why my endorsement of Clover as the ultimate hipster-hangout in Harvard square should carry all the more weight.', [])

Late Night Food Fight: Noch's
It's 1:30 in the morning, and you're hungry. But where do you go? It is a divisive debate among the Harvard student body, and loyalties to the Square's late-night stops run deep. So far, The Crimson has debated 10 of 11 popular choices around campus. Last, but not least: Pinnochio's.
\r\nOn a little corner not a far walk from the Square, you’ll see a white brick building—enter through a small red door, and you’ll find yourself in the cramped Pinocchio’s Pizza & Subs, searching everywhere for a seat (and usually not finding one). But no one goes to Noch’s to sit.
\r\nThey go to eat.

Late Night Food Fight: Quincy Grille
It\'s 1:30 in the morning, and you\'re hungry. But where do you go? It is a divisive debate among the Harvard student body, and loyalties to the Square\'s late-night stops run deep. So far, The Crimson has debated nine of 11 popular choices around campus. Now up: Quincy Grille.
\r\nIn the past few days, I’ve read a few futile attempts trying to justify late-night food choices like CVS and ABP. Now, fast forward to September. I’m hungry. And it’s after midnight. Do I buy questionable sushi from 24-Hour Market? Do I buy some mystery meat concoction from the Kong?
\r\n\r\n
No. I’m a broke college student. And I’m using my Board Plus.', [])

Soon, students logging onto their my.harvard accounts won\'t be greeted with the recognizable gray boxes of the old website.

Alum's Book Tells Histories of Square Eateries
A new book by Sean O\'Rourke \'49 explores the histories of a slew of restaurants in and around Harvard Square. Many of the restaurants, like the Border Cafe, Bartley\'s Burgers, and Algiers are favorites among undergraduates and tourists today.
\r\nBut others have long since closed their doors, and "A Brief History of Harvard Eateries and Watering Holes"\xa0recalls memories of the somewhat forgotten restaurants of the past.

Late Night Food Fight: Falafel Corner
It\'s 1:30 in the morning, and you\'re hungry. But where do you go? It is a divisive debate among the Harvard student body, and loyalties to the Square\'s late-night stops run deep. Over an 11 day period, The Crimson will debate 11 popular choices around campus. Now up: Falafel Corner.
\r\nSome people may have come to you recently with claims that they know where the best place for a late-night bite is. Some people may have tried to back up these claims with “facts” and “arguments” and “rationale”. Truth be told (for the first time in this series), these people are wrong.\xa0 It’s nothing against them or their stupid, wrong opinions, it’s just cold, hard objectivity: Falafel Corner is the only correct choice for twilight fare. If you’ll allow me to be Frank for a moment, I’ll explain.', [])

Late Night Food Fight: Au Bon Pain
It\'s 1:30 in the morning, and you\'re hungry. But where do you go? It is a divisive debate among the Harvard student body, and loyalties to the Square\'s late-night stops run deep. Over an 11 day period, The Crimson will debate 11 popular choices around campus. Now up: Au Bon Pain.
\r\nThe first thing any Harvard freshman learns is to never refer to the Hong Kong or Pinnochio’s Pizza by their full names. Those who are “in the know,” the freshmen learn, call them “the Kong” and “Noch’s,” respectively.
\r\nBut what those freshmen don’t learn is that those who are truly in the know don’t go to either of those places—they go to Au Bon Pain, the best late night eatery in the square.', [])

\r\n\r\n
Imagine yourself in one of the following situations. You return from a rough evening at lab and need a boost. You’ve just perused Final Club Row and are ready to pig out. Or you’re just in the mood for beans and rice, and it’s too late for Chipotle, Qdoba, or Boloco. Enter Felipe’s, the premiere option for South-of-the-border eats come midnight, and not a bad choice among everything open and available at that time.', [])

Late Night Food Fight: Pizza Ring

\r\nI can think of two things that are best bought past midnight, get delivered to your door, have a big selection, and give you a cheap, satisfying, quick fix with almost certain regret in the morning. One is not legal in the state of Massachusetts. The other is Pizza Ring.
\r\nWhile Pizza Ring may not be the healthiest of choices or have the promptest of service, it is indisputably—for lack of a better word—clutch.
