The actress, in town to receive a Hasty Pudding award, adjourned to UpStairs on the Square to fuel up for the Harvard fete. Upon what did the dignified Danes up? Per the Globe: “Danes and her dashing husband had a leisurely lunch at UpStairs on the Square. The couple, who are traveling with their dog Weegee, had a vegetarian lunch of butter lettuce, ruby red grapefruit and avocado, half of a cider-glazed acorn squash, warm farro, tuscan kale and quince, and vanilla white chocolate cake and passionfruit caramel and crème legere.” Luscious!

We’re not sure what Weegee had, but we’re positive that the friendly guys and dames at the restaurant provided for the pup.

As for the Harvard roast? Danes called it “epic,” “wackadoodle” and “utterly trippy,” which also kinda describes the decor at UpStairs. Love that animal print!
