Regatta Bar in Harvard Square
The Regattabar opened its doors to the public on January 29th, 1985. Since then it has become the leading jazz club not only in Boston, but also New England. Unfortunately, the sound quality is far from spectacular, and since switching to Blue Note booking you will find that a lot of the good acts in Boston are goin elsewhere.
Tokyo Kid in Harvard Square
Tokyo Kid is an anime specialty store. As such, it's expensive. However, you can always find a few scraggly otaku hanging around, as well as a small selection of music, games, DVDs, translated manga, action figures, artbooks... etc. Like most anime stores, its products aren't as up to date as something you'd find in Japan, but it has a very convenient location in The Garage. If you want any original Japanese books (in which case I'd recommend the infinitely less convenient Sasuga Books in Waltham), or even older translated titles, however, you're out of luck.
