Flyby City
From Harvard Square to Logan Airport
Thanksgiving is a mere two days away. Swayed by the holiday spirit, Flyby has compiled a list of options for making it to the airport in one piece, so you can get home for family, turkey, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, etc.

Flying home for Turkey Day? Don't want to schlep bags through South Station or splurge on a cab? This year, thanks to an initiative funded by the Undergraduate Council, students have one more option for getting to the airport.
Addis Red Sea Review
"I'm too busy" is never a good excuse to skimp on exciting and delicious food escapades. In this new series, explore the culinary scene of Boston and Cambridge with Jane, your Crimson foodie who may be picky, but will still try anything on the plate at least once (except maybe chicken feet). You won't need any forks or knives when you eat at Addis Red Sea, an Ethiopian restaurant near Porter Square. Instead of cutlery, Ethipian food calls for a different set of tools: namely, your hands. With the aid of lots and lots of injera, an Ethiopian bread that's like a spongier version of sourdough, you scoop up different entrees and channel the food directly to your mouth.
Zinneken's Review
There is no need to cross the Atlantic Ocean when the taste of Belgium is only a short walk away. Located at 1154 Massachusetts Ave., Zinneken's serves two types of authentic, freshly-baked Belgian waffles—Liege and Brussels.
Free Waffles at Zinneken's Wednesday
To celebrate its one-year anniversary, Zinneken’s is giving away free Liege-style waffles from 5 to 10 p.m. this Wednesday. The waffle stock will be limited, so be sure to stop by early to sample this chewy, doughy Belgian delight!
You Be The Chef: A Dining Experience at Shabu-Ya
"I'm too busy" is never a good excuse to skimp on exciting and delicious food escapades. In this new series, explore the culinary scene of Boston and Cambridge with Jane, your Crimson foodie who may be picky, but will still try anything on the plate at least once (except maybe chicken feet). Diners are invited to be the chefs when they order shabu shabu, or Japanese version of hot pot, at Shabu-Ya (http://www.shabuyarestaurant.com). The entrée comes with a choice of protein, a platter of vegetables that includes lettuce, cabbage, corn, tofu, carrots, and mushroom, as well as a choice of udon noodles, clear noodles, or a bowl of rice. Diners dunk in the ingredients into the boiling broth and dip them into special sauce that tastes like soy sauce. Shabu shabu is a fun experience if you have never tried it, but the vegetables at Shabu-Ya were not very fresh and the broth tasted a bit bland.
Lunch at Crema: A Two Sandwich Review
"I'm too busy" is never a good excuse to skimp on exciting and delicious food escapades. In this new series, explore the culinary scene of Boston and Cambridge with Jane, your Crimson foodie who may be picky, but will still try anything on the plate at least once (except maybe chicken feet). At the height of lunchtime, it is nearly impossible to snag a seat at Crema Café. The menu of this coffee shop boasts everything from lattes decorated with swirled foam art to delectable cupcakes recently featured on the Food Network's "Cupcake Wars." In addition to drinks and baked goods, Crema Café offers an extensive food menu that includes sandwiches, salads, soups, and quiches.
The Red House Review
"I'm too busy" is never a good excuse to skimp on exciting and delicious food escapades. In this new series, explore the culinary scene of Boston and Cambridge with Jane, your Crimson foodie who may be picky, but will still try anything on the plate at least once (except maybe chicken feet). From creamy lobster rolls to chunky clam chowder, the cuisine of New England highlights the freshest ingredients found underwater. As a coastal city, Boston is home to numerous seafood restaurants, including The Red House in Harvard Square.
Ghost Tours, Flash Mobs, and...A Proposal?
At first glance, a ghost tour around Harvard Square in the midst of a budding hurricane might not scream romance. But for Rosana Gambino and Jerilyn Sawyer, these elements would set the stage for a marriage proposal over a month in the making.
