FIVE: SPEAKING OF HARVARD, IT'S A GOOD PLACE TO VISIT. The grounds of Harvard University are so beautiful to walk around, and the Harvard Book Store is one of the last great independent bookstores. It's right there across the street from the university.

SIX: HAMBURGERS TASTE GREAT. Just ask Matt Damon. Right beside the Harvard Book Store is Mr. Bartley's, a really old-school, greasy-spoon hamburger joint. It is in . It has absolutely the best greasy burger you will ever have in your life. A really nice afternoon would be to go have a burger there and then go to the bookstore next door, pick up a Harvard T- shirt, and walk the grounds of Harvard, particularly in the spring or in the fall, when all the students are starting.
