Poems Before Lunch
Boston • By Hart
A weekday morning in Harvard Square: coffee, a free museum, the country's oldest poetry shop, and a bookstore to lose an hour in.
The itinerary
9:30 AM
Faro Café
Maps5 Arrow St, Cambridge, MA
Start slow. It's a coffee shop by day, and you have nowhere to be until ten.
10:30 AM
Harvard Art Museums
Maps32 Quincy St, Cambridge, MA
Admission is free, so give it forty minutes and leave while you still like it. Each of you picks one piece to show the other, no reading the label first.
12:15 PM
Grolier Poetry Book Shop
Maps6 Plympton St, Cambridge, MA
Open Wednesday to Friday, and on Saturday only the first one of the month. It's one small room. Find a poem for each other and read it out loud on the sidewalk, not inside.
1:00 PM
Harvard Book Store
Maps1256 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA
It's around the corner from the Grolier. It sells new, used and bargain books. Pick a used one for each other and write something inside the cover before you hand it over.
