Mr. Bartley’s @ Harvard Square
When you’re at Harvard, you have to make smart decisions, and mine was to never again order a cheeseburger with barbecue sauce. I arrived at that decision after eating at Mr. Bartley’s, a venue the Boston Herald describes as “Boston’s best burger, in cheerfully, post-hippie dorm surroundings.” I got into the barbecue sauce-on-cheeseburger habit back in my high school days, ordering the Rojo Burger at Chili’s. I thought it was a classy move, but not everyone agreed, including my prom date. (btw, “Rojo” is the Spanish word for “impossible to get out of Taffeta”).
This place has a fun student vibe, and I kept thinking I’d see Will Hunting sitting in the corner solving word problems.
I was on campus to speak about using comedy in social media to help put a face on the corporation. Below is a short clip of my PowerPoint disaster. And check out this review of Bartley’s from Billy Idol:
Yelp gives it 4.5 stars
