Located just across the Charles River from Boston, Cambridge, is a bustling city of over 100,000 people filled with restaurants, cafes, shops, and bars. Already a hot spot for the academic world, and home to two of the most prominent universities in the country, Harvard and MIT, Cambridge definitely lives up to its reputation, drawing some of the finest minds from around the globe, and being one of the top cities lauded for their cutting edge technology and Biotech research. Today, Cambridge is evolving away from its stuffy reputation, and has become a hot destination for fun-seekers, young and old alike, drawing musicians, foodies, tourists, and shoppers. Foodies will have many options to choose from, as there is a wide variety of dining in Cambridge. From Asian cuisine, like Koreana to Mediterranean fare, like Oleana, there surely is a place to satisfy any craving here. Cambridge is also teeming with independent coffee shops (how else do you think the Ivy-Leaguers stay up to finish all those assignments?), like Carberry's, Simon's Coffeeshop, and 1369 Coffee House. After a long week of studying, take in some live music and booze at one of Cambridge's many bars, like the Cambridge Common, Toad, Lizard Lounge, or Cantab Lounge. As a destination with something going on, you can always count on something to see or do when you are in Cambridge. The majority of its neighborhoods are centered around "squares", such as Inman Square, Kendall Square, Central Square, Harvard Square, and Porter Square. A moderate walk or short ride on public transportation, Cambridge is served by the Red Line on the MBTA, a number of Buses, and is the ideal destination for anyone interested music, theatre, world famous museums (the Harvard art museums or the glass flowers and dinosaurs at the Harvard Museum of Natural History), history, or just in an overall good time.
