By location: Alden & Harlow (Harvard Square), Puritan and Co. (Inman Square), Lamplighter (Cambridge Crossing/North Point), and State Park (Kendall). Alden & Harlow is probably the best all around in terms of quality and places to walk around and see after differ. State Park is southern food, it's also right next to a movie theater.

There are hundreds of options from an Escape Room to a high end dinner. Narrow it down for yourself or your will get a ton of suggestions that you don't want or won't use. I'll start.

Drive down to Leverett Circle and while there dump a piggy bank out the window of your car. Now, park (illegally of course) and using only ped walk signs, collect all the money you can. Winner is the person with the most money.

It was a knife btw not a machete. The 911 caller misunderstood it to be a machete thus a lot of articles states that but it was found out that he only had a knife. Still a deadly weapon but I still feel like one or two shot could have put him down and not kill him.

I mean ofcourse there was SOMETHING. The fact that the boy was "shot 5 times and killed" alone should be the reason for BRUTALITY. Remind you that the boy only had a knife and not a gun or similar weapon, so I still believe one or two shot could have put him down. Also it was one vs 5 polices so I don't buy the fact that he was charging at the police with a knife and that's the reason they killed him.

I still feel like the killing was not justified at all. As I have heard, the victim had been shot 5 times including his neck and chest. I feel like one or two could've put him down and he would still be alive if taken to the hospital asap. Yes I agree with the fact that not putting down the weapon and being aggressive even after cops telling him not to, can be dangerous but the boy only had a knife on him. If it was a gun or something similar, that would have made sense that he is a bigger threat to others let alone the cops. Also not to mention that it was one vs 5 so I still don't buy the fact that he was shot because he was seen as a threat to others especially with a knife.
