Urban Hike - Harvard undergrads in Davis Square

[erin-cambridge.livejournal.com]

I'm a resident tutor (basically a grad student R.A.) at one of the Harvard undergraduate houses on the Quad, near Porter Square.  I'd like to host an "urban hike" to Davis Square to show the students about this awesome area nearby - somehow, many of the undergrads manage to graduate without ever having visited it!  I'm planning a series of stops at locales like Somerville Theatre, Sacco's Bowl Haven, Artifaktori, Spike's, Diesel, Poor Little Rich Girl, Boston Burger Company, JP Licks, etc., and I'd like each business to have the opportunity to advertise itself to the students, maybe by handing out coupons or little treats.  Please let me know if you'd like to do something like this, so I can include it in my own advertising to the students about this event and make sure we'll stop at your place.  Thanks!

I like your idea.

If you want to deal with the Davis Square business community, I recommend that you get in touch with the folks at DARBI.

By the way, some Extension School students might also be interested in your hike, especially those newly arrived from other parts of the US. Consider publicizing it at ExtensionStudent.com, for instance.
