Eat

[edit]

With a dizzying array of options, and slightly less stringent liquor laws, Cambridge is every bit as much a dining destination as Boston. Most restaurants tend to cluster around Harvard and Central Squares, but if you're willing to stray a bit beyond the subway stops (and you should be), you'll quickly discover many less-travelled neighborhood gems. Only caveat: a swath of a dozen or so Indian restaurants litter Mass Ave. between Harvard and Central and are, for the most part, to be avoided. You're better off crossing the river to Boston or Allston to get your curry fix.
