Near Cambridge Boys & Girls Club
A block or two away from the milonga
Cuchi Cuchi 795 Main Street, Cambridge
(617) 864-2929
Beautiful, delicious, and pricey. Small plates, kind of like tapas. And the servers are always in
costumes! It would be smart to call ahead to make sure they have room for you, since they seem to
always be busy.
Salts Restaurant 798 Main St, Cambridge (617)876-8444
It looks amazing and it is expensive.
Royal East Restaurant 792 Main St, Cambridge
(617) 661-1660
Authentic Cantonese and Szechuan Cuisine. The restaurant is not beautifully designed, but the food is
supposed to be very good, there's room for large groups, and it's on the cheaper side.
Bertucci's Brick Oven Restaurant 799
Main St, Cambridge (617) 661-8356
It's a chain restaurant, so what can you expect? Good, middle-of-the-road
food that's more expensive than it should be.
In Central Square (near the T station)
Middle East Restaurant 472 Massachusetts
Ave, Cambridge (617) 492-1886
Good Middle Eastern food in a restaurant that's a little seedy around the seams (as you would expect
from any restaurant that's also a popular nightclub).
Royal Bengal Restaurant 313 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge (617) 491-1988
Mixed reviews. Some just love it for being Authentic Bengali cuisine.
Pepper Sky's Thai Sensation 20 Pearl St, Cambridge (617) 492-2541?
Pretty good Thai food just off the main drag.
Rangzen Tibet Restaurant 24 Pearl St, Cambridge (617) 354-8881
Some dishes are decent and others are really good. Sorry I don't remember any to recommend!
Toscanini's 899 Main Street, Cambridge (617)
491-5877
The New
York Times says it's 'the best ice cream in the world'. I'd say that's definitely worth a try. ;)
