Thanks! I passed Lizzie's and Fire 'n' Ice yesterday up near Harvard, while stumbling around in the snow and ice. I'll give 'em a try.

I am really, truly vegan and not someone who just occasionally eats vegan food. I do not eat meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, dairy or honey, nor do I purchase or eat anything containing animal products.
I only eat dessert if it doesn't contain gelatin, eggs, dairy, or honey. Lizzie's ice cream has Tofutti ice cream and I know that they have a place in Cambridge. If you're willing to spend cash or check, Veggie Planet has amazing food. Small place but worth it. I also enjoy Fire 'n' Ice which has a make your own stir fry. They have a separate vegetarian/kosher grill which works out awesomely for me, and I eat there with other omnivores.Other Cambridge recommendations...Middle East has good falafel. Further towards Somerville in between Porter and Harvard Sq is Attis Red Sea, an amazing Ethiopian food place. They're right on Mass Ave. I have an amazing spice tolerance myself--not your northern standard for sure--and am blanking on a good place for spicy/Mexican/soul food. I usually wind up cooking that sort of thing myself so I can be sure I can actually eat it. You may like Attis Red Sea, however. :) And their wine is amazing. I can't advise you on seafood for obvious reasons, except suffice to say that you're in the Boston area and can't really go wrong there.

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.

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.
