skyle: Mac n cheese here worth the splurge! Perfectly soft shelled noodles, sprinkled with just crunchy bread crumbs, baked in a mini cast iron fry pan...mmmm perfect on a chilly fall day!
Luke Henry: A close second on my list of best margarita pizzas in Boston.
Boston.com: Two restaurants in one, both tailor-made for Tech Square: an all-day bakery-cafe attached to a sparse, industrial dining room with two wood-fired ovens. Read more.

Music Venue · Harvard Square · 22 tips and reviews
Secret Boston: Coolest music vibe in town, man. 60s
The Feast: Legendary folk joint. A slightly older crowd holds court here most nights, but also expect to see plenty of music-nerds.
Ingrid Hartman: Buy tickets early so you can sit up in front. Amazingly intimate venue, nothing quite like it.

M3t47 G34r: This is the best deal when it comes to lunch in Cambridge. All the food is fresh! Lunch buffet is $14.77 but definitely worth it. Make sure to get mushroom chicken, noodles, and some milk tea!

T B: The sushi is so fresh and delicious that it melts in your mouth! Best time to go is around sunset, because the light in the space is really soft and pleasant. Modern, clean design. Perfect date spot!
Drew Kull: So far, everything was amazing. Kimchee soup was very spicy and the Saba Nigiri was super fresh and delicious!!!
Ryan Nixon: Great high quality sashimi, but what really impressed was the green tea cheesecake and mango ice cream!

Kevin H: Awesome beer selection (and great staff who knows all about it & can help novices like me) + great burgers. Oh, and fried pickles. Get fried pickles.
Rob Sheppard: If you're not sure what to go for, go with the 'Staff Pick'. Four 5oz beer samplers. Tasty!
Joe Allen-Black: You must get the the sweet potato fries. Best I've had in a while.
Terence Michale: Off the menu Malaysian items is a must! Spicy Grilled Sting Ray, Kangkung belacan, red curry! You can request halal chicken for some items. Ask the owner.
Dorothy T.: Absolutely get a plate of the Peking ravioli! And the Peking duck. Yum!
Adam Hertz: Try the Pea Tendrils, they're awesome!

Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurant · Mid-Cambridge · 197 tips and reviews
Emily Chalko: One of my favorites for a quick healthy but filling bite in Boston. Get the adventurer bowl with avocado! The ginger Namu Shayu sauce will knock your socks off. Amazing smoothies - get the love alive
Eric Leist: About 80% of the customers come before or after a yoga class, just bring a yoga mat so you fit in.
Matt S: I'd love to try the rest of the menu, but after having an Adventurer bowl you'll never want to wander.
