A Tale of Two Brothers

After putting in years of work at square establishments, Lawrence and Brendan Hopkins open a place of their own

"When the rain beats down on the roof, you feel like you're in a waterfall," he says. "With a fire going, it would be perfect."

Although Daedalus--an upscale restaurant and bar--seems similar in its style to Grafton Street, Hopkins says he does not think his restaurant poses any threat.

"There's so much room for more restaurants and bars in the Square," Hopkins says "People just get tired of the same stuff all the time."

Grafton Street owner Patrick Lee--whose restaurant will move to another spot in the Square later this year--says he agrees.

"The more places there are in the Square, the better it is for everyone," Lee says. "More restaurants bring in more clientele. I wish them luck."

Hopkins says he hopes that the restaurant will cater both to Cambridge residents and students starved for a change of pace.

"There's going to be a very eclectic crowd," Hopkins says. "Everyone can come here."
