Cambridge is just across the Charles River from Boston, Massachusetts. It is home to two of the world's most prestigious universities. First and foremost among them is Harvard and secondly, MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). I came here twice, while in Boston and spent the majority of the time walking around the Harvard campus.
I couldn't help but look around and think to myself that all of these students walking around in their humble college style clothing would one day be millionaires! Harvard is the wealthiest university in the nation and certainly produces some of its wealthiest and most influential citizens. Eight United States presidents are Harvard grads.

Shalimar is in my beloved Central (don't be) Sq, so it's cool, don't get me wrong....but the best Indian, seems to be Bombay Club in Harvard Sq. http://www.bombayclub.com/home.html I also like Arlington's (no liquor) Punjab.
Nice updates, Mark.
Yeah, I meant to take on those speed chess guys in Harvard Square, but never found the time! Great tips!
Charming little page. Great.
Great page! I wonder how many 'Cambridge' locations there are in the world :-) Hahaha, I loved the story about the statue of John Harvard :-)
As I see, it must be the largest university library in the world...
love the comment on all those slacker, supposed-Tibet-loving Harvard kiddies!
