About This Exhibition
Inman Square is where Cambridge residents go when they don't want to deal with tourists. This unassuming intersection at Cambridge Street and Hampshire Street quietly houses some of the best restaurants in the city — from Oleana's James Beard-lauded Mediterranean to the dive-bar burgers at B-Side. No T station keeps it delightfully under-the-radar. The square also features the beloved 1369 Coffee House, vintage shops, and a tight-knit community vibe that feels more neighborhood than destination.
