Cambridge MA
Cambridge in the middle of July is a very busy, hectic place (at least at Harvard Square). I don’t know how many of the people milling around are tourists and how many are locals, but it was like a zoo. At the square itself is a central visitor information booth with long lines. It’s also where the T stops. There are many cops just hanging around here as well, not sure why.
Radiating out from the central square are the main shopping/eating streets and then Harvard itself which we really didn’t get to see because we had time constraints given that the bikes needed to be back. But we did wander the streets a bit. The shopping seemed primarily geared toward locals. There were not a lot of t-shirt or junk shops but more Harvard wear, trendy stuff, sports stores, a few cafes, ice cream shops, etc.
We got ice cream from a side street recommended by the visitor center but Asha’s pistachio was so yucky she tossed it out. Lauren had chocolate and she seemed to like it. The place was kind of messy and trashy (like the whole area is). There are lots of places to eat on the sidewalks if you just want to take in the crowd vibe. People play instruments and sing in various places as well.
