five days in Cambridge, MA
Hi, all -- I will be in Cambridge for five days next week visiting my daughter (she is a college student and has a summer job nearby). I haven't spent much time in Cambridge since the Ford administration (okay, that was bad, but I just wanted a clever way of saying that I haven't been there for more than a few hours in many years). Other than the museums and keeping my eyes open to an Urban Ranger with facial hair (yes, Reinhard, that was aimed at you!), does anyone have any good ideas for restaurants and/or fun things to do? Thanks for any tips --

Central Kitchen, in central square is excellent. Somewhat pricey, but not nearly as bad as gastronomically comparable restaurants. The vibe is a little annoyingly hip, but the food is worth it.

For more economical fare, Royal India is great (make sure to order from the Bengali menu).

Wisteria is great, cheap chinese with some really hard core "authentic" menu items like "Pigs blood tofu and intestines" (not bad, actually) but also plenty of tamer, quite delicious stuff.

and the B-side lounge:

I could recommend a dozen more places... but these are the first that come to mind.

Hey, Reinhard -- Thanks so much for responding; you are extraordinarily kind and generous with your time. I have printed out your list and will let you know next week which restaurants I tried. I have been invited to kayak on the Charles and will have a calorie deficit just waiting to be replenished. (Okay, that last part was wishful thinking, but I probably will be hungry!)
