The Charles Hotel
Step into a magical storied night with actor/comedian Jimmy Tingle, as our 40th Annual Tree Lighting Celebration takes on a literary twist inspired by the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss! This year’s celebration offers even more reasons to gather and glow — including a life-sized gingerbread house, festive drinks and snacks, cozy lounges, and special appearances that will warm even the Grinch’s heart. Enjoy live holiday music filling the air, and celebrate community, creativity, and a touch of magic as we light up Harvard Square for the holiday season! More information available here.
Pammy’s is a New American restaurant inspired by the feel of an Italian neighborhood trattoria. Perched between Cambridge’s Central and Harvard Squares, Pammy’s is a cozy yet sophisticated neighborhood destination. For husband and wife team Chris and Pam Willis, who live right up the street, Pammy’s is an extension of their living room.
They’ve brought together their love of great food, easy hospitality and chic vibe to create a lively space that is welcoming to all looking for a memorable meal. With dishes that lean heavily on Italian flavors but are not restricted by any rules of the cuisine, the food is unpretentious and delicious. As the kitchen pulls from Italian culture and American innovation, the wine list also juxtaposes New and Old World wines from small vineyards in both countries.
A dual-opening fireplace wrapped in white ceramic, an oversized salvaged communal table designed for side-by-side dining and rich leather banquets are just some of the design elements that make up Pammy’s charm.
