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.
