Does the brain hurt from studying so hard? Time for a break. Fun in Cambridge is densely packed, everything is in walking distance, and it's is one of the most walker and biker-friendly communities. Grab a few buddies and hit The Garment District, a sprawling used and vintage clothing store " you never know what you might find in the mountains (yes, mountains) of clothing here. After you've shopped till you've dropped, catch a sunset on the Charles River. Hungry? Try Henrietta's Table or Grafton Street in Harvard Square for brunch. For the veggie-loving hipster, head over to Clover. Date venue? Oleana. Russell House Tavern is a Harvard-student heavy restaurant and bar, and The Sinclair and The Middle East are great venues for small concerts. An intellectual hub where old school meets the modern, Cambridge is full of character. All it needs is you.
