Hungry Golf is a modular mini golf course that takes players through some of Inman's most popular restaurants and their dishes, demonstrating Inman's diverse and delicious cuisine.
The holes are specifically designed to get people to appreciate the diversity in their community, and the modular design of the course allows it to be transported with relative ease, ensuring everyone gets a special experience.
Cambridge dining bloomed due to its ethnic diversity and adventurous eaters. A kind of multicultural row, Cambridge Street from Lechmere to Inman blossomed in Casa Portugal (since ’76), Midwest Grill, Olé, The Druid Pub, and 1369 Coffeehouse.

Legal Sea Foods got its start here when it opened as a fish market in 1950. Inman Square really became a dining destination spot in the mid-1980s when East Coast Grill opened, followed by more and more restaurants.
