We used to live over Julia’s back fence, at 18 Francis Ave. She was lovely, bringing us a bottle of champagne on one memorable occasion. No dinner invites, though! And as kids we were always disappointed to find the house dark on Hallowe’en. Neighborhood kids imagined cakes and cookies piled a mile high- but Julia and Paul probably had the sense to get out of Dodge.

Hi Cheryl,

I imagine that must have been Savenor’s Market. The Cambridge location was closed for many years but reopened a few years ago at the same location on Kirkland Street not far from where Julia and Paul Child lived.

Years ago I went to a market in Cambridge that Julia Child loved. It was small and has her handprints in the sidewalk outside the door. Can you help me with the name and location? It had a really good meat market. thanks, cheryl

Just a quick thanks for the post. My husband and I lived in student housing just a short walk from 103 Irving (at Kirkland and Beacon)in the mid-80’s when he was in graduate school. We loved living in the neighbourhood and always appreciated the charm and beauty of the homes and properties. Without feeling “stuffy”, the area had an undeniable gravitas and special “patina” due in part to its history and the ecclectic collection of interesting residents that have lived there. Your post brought back many fond memories of our daily walks through the neighbourhood – we found walking through it in the fall to be especially lovely. Thanks again! Leanne
