Enormous Room
November 10, 2009
Baby, it’s getting cold outside. Heading into November we are thinking more about sitting (ok, cuddling) on the couch more than strapping on stilettos and hitting the town in a minidress.
So picture this. Perch on your couch next to your date, turn down the lights to some moody house music, switch on a glowy starlight and insert a full bar. Add waitstaff that won’t bug you unless you need them… and you have Enormous Room.
Located above Central Kitchen on Mass Ave in Central, Enormous Room is easy to miss. It’s actually tiny and doesn’t have a sign. Look for the red elephant on the door. But that is what makes it OH so desirable. People described it to me as “very Cambridge” before I went for the first time. You’ll know it when you see it – you’ll find people pulling off the cheap chic look…. effortlessly. (Btw I hate these people because they always look ultra fabulous, and when complimented they claim to have pulled their outfits & accessories off their bedroom floor. I take 40 minutes in H&M to pick out one top!)
It’s these chic, laid-back people and no-frills atmosphere that make Enormous Room an EASY hang out. Extra deep velvet couches are perfect to snuggle up to your date. Balance a drink in your hand among the Moroccan-inspired decor and you’re set for the evening. Order God in Small Pieces – it’s a tequila and pomegranate mix that is divine!
Weeknights are super chill. Perfect vibe for a chat, makeout, whatever 
Trust me, the staff is used to it! Thursdays – Saturdays are loud – after 10pm prepare to shout your drink order and spend the rest of the night dancing. DJs spin every night. Possible $5 cover. It’s a party in your living room.
Getting there: Take the T to Central or park on Mass Ave at a meter. The Green Street garage’s night rate ranges from $3-5.
