Weekend Fun: Harvard Square

The weather is temporarily warming up, a nice opportunity to see Harvard Square, where limited parking means you'll have to walk. One favorite winter Saturday includes these three activities:

Ice skating at the Charles River Hotel - a small outdoor rink
• Hot chocolate at L.A. Burdick - the richest drink you've ever encountered
Glass flowers at the Harvard Museum of Natural History - lifelike and wonderful

If kids still have energy after that, finish with a visit to the Curious George bookstore.

The museum recommends public transportation. The hotel has an underground garage, which is easy but expensive. On-street metered parking is hard to find and limited to one or two hours.

However you get there, it's a fun plan for a winter weekend!
