WOW! That's a good find!

Have you ever been there? I imagine that the food is great but I'm a little concerned about getting there from South Station at that hour.

I'll check it out and let you folks know what I find!

Night owl is gone. North End is PERFECTLY safe. Jump on the first subway at Aquarium to the airport in the morning.

Also, News Cafe or South Street Diner are right next to South station. You can take the Silver Line from South Station directly to your terminal

I'm at News Cafe right now. It's actually a pretty cool place! If you are in the area you should definately check it out. It's a little 5 minute walk from South Station, just past the South St Diner (they are on the same block).

I've got a vodka and I had a little calamari. And they stay open till 4AM! I might have them make me a deli sandwich before I leave.

NICE! BTW, they also have free wireless access! Take that logan!

I'll catch a cab to the airport early on and my night will be complete.

BTW,

I also stopped by the South St Diner the other night.

What a dump.

I sat at the counter for close to 10 minutes and no-one even noticed me. The place looked filthy and the staff definately looked like they had food safety really low on the priority list.

I walked out without so much as a soda and caught a cab to Logan.

Avoid.

Please don't use the library as a crash zone. It makes the staff less inclined to keep it open for people studying!

I'm a librarian. I had a student lying on the floor yesterday.

"you right, mate?"
"yeah..... just exercising"

okkaayyy

As for access, Harvard are quite restrictive about who can access what resources, but if you get borrowing you get access. How else would you find the books you want You will have to wait until your ID card is issued though, access is strictly by ID only.

I know because I tried to visit as a tourist this year.
