All sound like awesome places to visit.
I'm not too picky, definitely like indian, asian, mexican, and other ethnic foods. Definitely like pubs. Definitely like movies; in fact one, the one guy I'm travelling with is a huge movie buff so he'd probably appreciate some of these suggestions.
We've also looked into most of the major events; Red Sox, Bruins, and Patriots all aren't in town.
Also thanks, but not in Harvard. Still pretty exciting though, I am working with Harvard for one of my final projects with McMaster University.
Harvard is producing some tech that we'd like to use in the project, and apparently we're using it in a novel way that they weren't anticipating. So they're excited and want to work with us to make it work, plus build an inter-university venture, and possibly produce a paper for them.

You won't find much authentic Mexican in Cambridge, but both Felipe's and Anna's Taquerias aren't too bad.

As far as pubs go, Shay's isn't bad, but it can get kinda crowded being right in Harvard Sq like it is.

And you have to get a couple of slices at Pinocchio's Pizza (which I'm sure is still there). Pizza isn't that great, but it's a Harvard institution. It's too bad Nick's Beef & Beer House and Three Aces Pizza aren't still around, but Charlie's is. So, you'll have to go there as well.

Ole' in Inman Sq is my favorite Mexican in Cambridge, and if you're in a hurry, they have a little burrito shop across the street called Olecito, which is just as good as Anna's if you just want a huge burrito.

i lived in boston (allston specifically) for 5-6 years. for the life of me i can't think of any really awesome things to do off the top of my head.

Turns out that our hotel is a 9 minute walk from Bukowski's sooo that's cool

You can probably walk to most places you'd wanna go in Cambridge.

I live in the South End of Boston. There are a few good shows in February.

2/21 - Russian Circles, Ken Mode, and Inter Arma
2/23 - Between the Buried and Me, Deafheaven, Intronaut, and The Kindred

I think there are a couple more, but I forget. I have tickets to those two.

I thought you lived in NY? Dude, Deep Ellum brunch. Best.

* Ah, I just saw "lived," - past tense. Never mind.
