...June. “The owner of the store liked that Harvard Square has a...eclectic feel to it,” said Tiffany Y. O’Neal, a sales associate at Tistik, explaining why the store location was chosen. Peter M. Hwang, the proprietor of Market in the Square—at the corner of Church Street and Brattle Street—said Harvard’s reputation and the Square’s high-volume traffic were draws, adding that satisfying “highly opinionated” Cambridge residents was a stimulating challenge for him.

Even the cocktails come with a savory twist - one, Myth of the Orient, contains soy sauce and chili peppers. Proprietor Loh Lik Peng, who also owns the New Majestic boutique hotel next door, says that the bar's menu was intended to offer "a more substantial dim sum that can be paired with alcohol."
