John Harvard's Brewery Dinner
Most people think of wine as the supreme accompaniment to a meal, yet many in the beer world disagree. Beer is gentler on the taste buds and isn’t as reactive with foods as wine can be. Indeed, the flavor of wine can prevent some foods from being fully savored and vice versa. Though change is… Continue reading John Harvard's Brewery Dinner

Looking Back
Uncle Jordy: Zach, being from across the river, you have no classcard, so we’re not really sure whether or not we should believe you are whom you say.

Escape to New York
“How was I assigned this particular section?” “If a cranberry bounces while TOM students are occupied with Shad exercises, is it really bouncing?” “Why must HBS blondes (especially the fake ones) do everything in packs of five?” Instead of wasting your time on these and other pointless RC-year ruminations, you should be sweating only one… Continue reading Escape to New York

The Lagniappe: Some Buried and Not-so-Buried Treasures of Harvard Square
