Located right smack in the middle of Harvard Square, Out of Town News is probably the most comprehensive newsstand in the Boston area. (A close second is Nini's Cornor, located right across the street.) Just about any foreign or domestic newspaper or magazine that you're looking for has a better chance of being in stock here than it does anywhere else.

The kiosk sits a stone’s throw away from the nearby Harvard Square MBTA station—in fact, the newsstand was actually part of the subway stop in the 1920’s. Sheldon Cohen founded the original newsstand in 1955. He then sold the over 450-square-foot business 39 years later. The City of Cambridge owns the stand and has rented it out to various management corporations over the years.
