"Where's The Tasty?" - Cambridge
"Where's The Tasty?"
Finally, a Cambridge page!

Sometimes you need to play tourist locally. My friends visited from Florida and wanted to go to Harvard Yard and The Fogg Museum. I remembered to bring my camera and snap some photos of this lovely campus.

Like a lot of Boston, Harvard Square has changed a lot in the last few years. Dunno... It's not bad but it is a tad too gentrified for me.

But still, all in all it's a nice spot.

Do we blend?
Do we blend? - Cambridge

So many books... so many intelligent people.... so many famous or soon-to-be famous people... and us!

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Gorgeous campus and lots of restaurants and shops
  • Cons:Stop the gentrification!
  • In a nutshell:No visit to Boston is complete without time spent in Harvard Square
