tailgates and tackles - View this location on map

'harvard may have banned kegs at tailgate parties, but that's done little to quell the pregame bash at harvard stadium, just across the charles river in boston (617-495-2211). stop by before kickoff (usually 12:30 p.m.) and join the crowd grilling burgers and sausage and drinking beer. this weekend the crimson take on cornell at home, but the highlight of the season is always the harvard-yale game (a harvard home game this year on nov. 20 ), for which tickets are double the usual $15 for adults. be sure to pick up a $7 harvard seat cushion to counter the unforgiving cement bleachers. or, if the weather's too cold, catch the game back in cambridge from the confines of charlie's kitchen (10 eliot street, 617-492-9646), perhaps the quintessential dive, with good burgers to boot. the indulgent serving staff is likely to allow you to tune one of the half-dozen tv's to the game as long as the red sox aren't on.''
