Guidebook for Cambridge
Food Scene
Amazing food overall. They also have a late night menu that starts at 11pm for cheap bites paired with great house cocktails. It's difficult to get a seat at normal dining hours, but always worth checking, and if the wait is long just put your name in and grab a drink at Brick & Mortar down the street.

Casual spot, but very good sushi - probably the best in Cambridge. Also, it's a 5 minute walk from my apartment. Great mochi dessert, too!

Food is great, plus live jazz and other genres most nights of the week. Great cocktails, sort of bohemian vibe, but also trendy.

Tucked away - great coffee shop with delicious breakfast sandwiches. Gets very crowded at peak hours (10am-2pm), but if you get a spot it's a perfect place to get some work done. Free wi-fi too.

Arts & Culture
Really cool rotating exhibit (last year I went to a live jellyfish tour) and then you can pop next door to a science-inspired cocktail bar with a full menu (that's pretty expensive). Very cool spot.

Entertainment & Activities
Extensive collection of independent films. Very old-school theatre with mostly off-beat movies, plus they sell brownies, cookies, and trail mix at the counter, not just mondo sized popcorn.
