The People's Republic of Cambridge is an autonomous city in Massachusetts home to the following attractions:
Porter Square
Porter Square is home to DELICIOUS FOOD. If you are visiting Cambridge, this is what you must do:
- Take the Red Line to Porter Square
- Walk down the street a little and go into the mall
- EAT DELICIOUS REAL JAPANESE FOOD
The place you are looking for is officially named Cafe Mami, but it is actually called Taka's, because your food is cooked by Taka, a Japanese guy who you will see behind the counter. Tell Taka that Jihwan and Ari are telling everyone they know about his delicious curry rice. (They probably aren't really, but they ought to be. If you ever meet them you will appreciate my sentiment.)
Nearby Taka's is a genuine Japanese grocery store with all sorts of neat stuff in it. It takes a lot of effort to import Japanese food so go buy a melon bread there if didn't stuff yourself on curry rice. There's also a Japanese bakery, which I haven't yet tried but will someday, and a bubble tea stand which is acceptable.
Porter Square also used to be home to the best Japanese bookstore on the entire East Coast, but it moved and is somewhere in Western Mass now.
Harvard Square
- The Garage
- Tokyo Kid: horrible ripoff anime store, has some plushies. WARNING: All of its CDs are bootlegs. You can tell because of the price and sometimes by examining the jewel case, although it isn't as obvious as it used to be.
- Newbury Comics: great place to buy CDs. Also has the Thanksgiving prints by Chris Ware for sale. But they're like $35. I don't blame you if you don't want to buy them. Neither does he, read the back cover.
- Hempest: upscale pothead clothing (formerly Pandemonium :emo:)
- Crazy Dough: delicious pizza must eat
- Ben & Jerry's
- Boston Chowder Co.
- Million Year Picnic: wonderful comic book store with all the great books
- That other comic book store
- The Coop: a glorified Barnes and Noble, walk down the street to Harvard Book Store. Ask directions, it's not immediately visible.
- Harvard Book Store: home to the best new books in the entire world. Has everything you'll ever want to read from this year and last year. Right now they have n+1 on display at the register.
- Bartley's Burgers: the worst-kept secret in Cambridge
- Boston Tea Stop: even better than the bubble tea at Porter Square, delicious ice cold sweet tea with gelatin, yum.
- Veggie Planet: secret, underground vegetarian restaurant. If you can find the entrance you gain 15 anti-establishment points.
Central Square
- The Middle East (your gigs can be found here)
- Pandemonium, home to old-fashioned D&D nerds, on some side street somewhere
