When a restaurant has a separate "Sweets" menu, it has to be good. Max Brenner's serves a variety of chocolate-based items, from five types of fondue to six flavors of milkshakes to seven kinds of hot chocolate. Although many students come solely for the delicious dessert menu, the regular menu should not be dismissed. Max Brenner's offers flatbread pizzas and waffle sandwiches as well as a tasty brunch until noon on weekdays and 3 p.m. on weekends. At night, the classic chocolate martini is a must! For visitors who still want more after their meal, they can purchase chocolate to take home with them from the restaurant's chocolate shop.

Known as Boston's ribbon of contemporary parks, the Rose F. Kennedy Greenway stretches from Chinatown to the North End.

There are seats and benches throughout the park for people to relax and admire the Charles River.
