News -- Porter Square Books in Cambridge to move to Lesley's University Hall, will include The Page & Leaf Cafe. https://bostonrestaurants.blogspot.com/2024/08/porter-square-books-in-cambridge-to.html

Porter Square Books is moving to University Hall (what I think of as Porter Exchange, in a building which was originally a Sears) in October. Their new space will be 40% bigger, and stay open later. They'll have more cafe space too -- but it won't be Cafe Zing, which is staying in the shopping plaza -- instead it will be a new cafe, "Page and Leaf" (another venture by the owners of Diesel, Bloc, and Forge).
