Soft-Serve and Lawn Games Galore at Area Four in Cambridge

Housemade soft-serve ice cream at Area Four

By Naomi Kooker

Area Four in Cambridge has the cool idea to marry outdoor fun and games with food for the summer. Swing by between 2:30 and 5 PM and grab a “street-side” soft-serve - peanut butter and mixed berry sorbet twist; strawberry (with Verrill Farm strawberries) or spearmint. And if you’re waiting for a table, fill your time with a quick round of lawn darts, bocce, croquet, Frisbee, soccer or football toss on the grassy patch next door - just ask the hostess for your pick of lawn games available at the restaurant. Before you know it, you'll be choosing teams with the waitstaff (617-758-4444; areafour.com).
