Nubar
Neighborhood restaurant and lounge at the Sheraton Commander Hotel, just off the Cambridge Common. Seasonal New England menu, a strong breakfast program for Harvard Square visitors, and a quiet lounge that locals use as a civilized escape from the Square's crowds.
Fallow Kin
Vegetable-forward farm-to-table restaurant in the former Craigie on Main space, from the Talulla team. Zero-waste kitchen — byproducts of one dish show up in the next (halibut poached in whey from in-house yogurt). Tasting counter; regular menu of share plates; a 'farm burger' in homage to Tony Maws's Craigie original.
