Jim Hurley asked about parking, and I found out that Redline validates parking at Harvard Square Parking, which is right next door at the corner of JFK St. and Eliott St., and also at University Place Parking, 124 Mt. Auburn St.

Other options are to drive to Alewife, Davis, or Central and take the Redline to Harvard Square. The Redline restaurant is just a short walk down JFK St. from the T stop.

Just a note on the parking: even with the validation discount, it's still fairly expensive. The discount was $2, and shifted the cost from either $15 to $13, or $13 to $11 - I forget which one - for about two hours of parking

Expect to pay $13 if you park in the garage (15 without validation). Street parking is possible, it just requires some knowledge of the streets, determination, and a touch of ruthlessness.
