Berks is a small store with an eclectic selection just off Harvard Square. The shoes here are very nice and comfortable for walking around. They sell both mens and womens shoes. Sometimes the store has good sales but many of the more upscale brands don't go on sale. This is one of the few places I have seen on the east coast that sell Doc Martens. Other brands represented here include Born, Dansko, fashion sneakers, etc. Prices are in line with prices elsewhere for the same brands. The return policy here though is not great so if you can buy somewhere else with a better return policy I would advise that you do so. Customer service is very helpful.

Zuzu is the tiny little bar/restaurant in between the up and downstairs Middle east Nightclub locations. All of them share a kitchen, but Zuzu's menu is a bit different. There are good hummus and tabouly dishes, falafel platters, pressed sandwiches, and probably the best of all, quesadillas. Their drinks are not cheap, but they're large. A rocks drink will last you a while. They also have a good, but not too extensive, wine selection at decent bottle prices. Many nights they have live music, or at least live electronic musings. The cover is usually low, if any, and the setting attracts more minimalist experimental acts.
