Cambridge
Map of Cambridge
A kissing cousin across the Charles River from Boston, the "People's Republic of Cambridge" has long been a haven for writers, radicals, freethinkers, and iconoclasts of all kinds. Although Cambridge is primarily a working class city (over 50 languages are spoken at the local high school) it's best known as home to Harvard, M.I.T., and a huge population of students. Cambridge has an eclectic mix of cafés, bookstores, record shops, funky clothing outlets, and crafts galleries, though Harvard Square is becoming increasingly yuppie friendly with the arrival of upscale bars and restaurants. The Harvard University museums -- the Fogg and the Peabody, most notably -- are great fun.
