A variety of performers play down the street for the crowds at Harvard Square Mayfair with little fear of fiery manholes. Harvard alumni-turned-popsters Chester French are the headliners, and every other band is better in this Bostonist's opinion.
At the same time, there's this special free show where so many incredible people are doing short acoustic sets. TT the Bear's Place deserves kudos for occasionally hosting free shows throughout the year, but tomorrow everyone is playing in tribute to Jeanne, a longtime TT's employee who died from cancer in February who meant so much more to so many.

They'll be stopping in Boston this weekend, where the "Ciao Bella Swirl", their signature neon-colored vehicle, will be serving flavors like blood orange sorbet, coconut sorbet, blackberry cabernet sorbet, pistachio gelato, maple ginger snap gelato and vanilla gelato.
Brace yourselves, Government Center minions, for free Cinnabon iced lattes as you exit the T this morning.

The Cinnabon gave away the drinks in twos to every person exiting. A veritable tag team of artificially flavored morning drink boost awaits. If other folks don't get to it first. Your options might include Espresso & Cream, Cinnamon Vanilla Latte, Caramel Nut Latte, and Mocha Latte. Pick your poison, and don't forget to send Ms. Fangula your free food alerts!

--Hendry Street isn't the only place suffering from the home-foreclosure crisis. In fact, so many areas are suffering that real estate agents are taking possible buyers on bus tours of other people's property.

Harvard Square is celebrating the Year of the Rat with a Lion Dance Parade.

There is no public institution that inspires Bostonist with so many warm feelings as the public library.

City-wide Friends of the BPL are offering one today at Copley. Stay out of our freaking way. Central Library, Copley Square, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm.
