Hi, It's Belkys. I've been craving a grilled pork vietnamese sandwich since I had one at the Super 88 in Allston a few months ago. So good! You'll love it.

ooh. i don't know what you (and they) like to eat, and what part of cambridge you're in, but:

inman square has very good ice cream (christina's), cheap late night indian (punjabi dhaba), nicer-than-standard chinese (china cafe or something like that).

davis square (in somerville) has the diesel cafe- local queer cafe, fun, yummy- also redbones for good barbeque.

and the allston/brighton area is also very nice- there's a bus that goes from harvard square, which is much better than trying to subway it.

if you tell me where you are exactly, i can give even more localized suggestions! also, the boston science musuem and the aquarium are both great.

chinatown is good, especially the vietnamese places.

i'm living on broadway, roughly 1/2 way between harvard sq and central sq. thanks for the tips!

OOOHH I love playing tour guide. I'd be happy to take y'all to the aquarium, to the museum of socience, to ice skate /watch people skate. . . Also I have a list of restaurants worth going to a mile long. . . !!! Give me a ring!

Harvest Coop in Central has a little cafe in the front that's not too expensive as far as little cafe's go. I am also a big fan of Falafel palace in Central, Haveli in Inman, and Veggie Planet in Harvard Sq. At all of those except for Haveli, you could get a meal for you and the 2.75 y.o. to share for under $5. Haveli is closer to $10.

When I have 2-3 y.o.s around in the winter, I like to do cooking projects with them so if you don't have a kitchen you are welcome here.

Also living in central and also happy to play tour guide. Haven't seen you in a couple of years and I haven't hung out with raccoontoy in way too long, either. I'll email you my email address in case you no longer have it.

And I can't spell my own name. Fabulous.

Hey, I just read this, and I'm local to you now. Welcome to Cambridge! Drop me email with what you're still looking for, and I'll hook you up. (I know a good organic CSA/farmshare that has a pick-your-own discount, for example.)

i would love to hear your insights about things not to miss while in cambridge. email me and we'll make a plan to meet up. dean at srlp dot org.
thanks!
