Inman Square is considered one of Cambridge’s hidden gems. This quaint yet diverse neighborhood is home to a whopping 13,000 residents who enjoy the endless restaurants, entertainment options, and shops nearby. It’s home to professionals, blue-collar workers, and students from MIT and Harvard.
One of the unique things about Inman Square is the variety of eateries that have a strong Brazilian and Portuguese influence, like:
- Casa Portugal, a Portuguese restaurant offering homemade-style meals
- Corazón de Frida, a colorful restaurant with authentic Mexican cuisine and murals on the walls
- Moona, a Mediterranean- and Middle Eastern-inspired eatery that also sells house-made goods
But before Inman Square came to be, it once belonged to the marshy and swampy region nestled between the Charles and Mystic Rivers. Although new buildings are adding to the neighborhood, Inman Square residents and business owners are no stranger to the pests found nearby.
