Well, I'm "mostly vegetarian", so have at it! Besides, if you still eat deserts
(not sure how truly vegan you are) there are recommendations there you can give
me: good ice cream, deserts, veggie lasagna, soups, best baked bread and goods.
My wife and I ate at Legal Sea Foods in Cambridge Sunday (the one next to the
Marriott). The food was perfectly prepared, some of the best fried (that's
right--fried!) fish and chips and shrimp we've ever had. Clam chowder was good
too. The only thing? They were ever so slightly lacking in spicing. Being from
Texas, with its mix of Southern/Soul/Mexican cooking, we like a bit more of a
kick to food. In Georgia where we live, for example, there's usually a bit of
seasoning put into the breading for frying. Still, it was really good.
I just completed a tour of Harvard, which was great. Lots of nice old
buildings. I've seen old buildings on campuses before, of course: UT Austin,
Georgia Tech, TCU, etc. But to stand in front of a building built in the 1680s,
and see plaques dedicated to dudes from the class of 1776--wow. Tomorrow I
think I'll do MIT, since it's a short walk from the Marriott. Thursday - Friday
I'll go into Boston proper and check out some things. Again, any suggestions
you have...
I was able to walk around today because it's relatively warm. (I'm still
tripping on how everyone's calling this 45-degree weather "springlike"! In
Atlanta we call this "chilly". Spring starts around 65 degrees for us!) Of
course the Northern Express is coming in and it'll be snowing, down to around
12 at night, daytime highs in the high 20s. I brought clothing for that, but
walking around tomorrow and Wednesday's gonna be really fun! :( Guess I'll
try to do a bunch of inside museum tours and such.

Too bad I didn't see this sooner--I live in Boston!! And yes, lots of good food but I'm vegan, so my knowledge of what is good may be a bit different than what you might like. ~ "Where love and magic meet" ~

Anyone here outside of George live in Boston? My wife and I will be up there all next week (can't wait to spend all that time in such cold-a$$ weather!) I'm on the Net searching for the standard tourist sites. We'll be in Cambridge, about a mile from Harvard, so there's obvious stuff I know to see.
Just wondered if anyone had any suggestions for don't-miss things possibly not in the guide books, such as good soul food (if such exists), black history sites, and the best of whatever the local cuisine is.
