Dessert
Mike's Pastry is known for the cannolis at their location in the North End, but here in Cambridge we have our own little gem. A great place to get traditional Italian cookies, cake, and cannolis.

To Do
Hidden behind a doorway in Roxy's Grilled Cheese, the A4cade is a great arcade for those who don't really want to grow up. The bars on either end offer fun and exciting drinks and the entire Roxy's menu (I recommend the mighty rib melt). There is often a line down the block on weekends, but it is worth it for a good time!

Consejos sobre la ciudad
Cómo moverse
Use GPS
Cambridge is a beautiful city that happens to be made up of one ways and rotaries. If you are new to the area, I would recommend using a GPS so you don't end up in the Charles River.
Qué meter en la valija
Wear comfortable shoes
Cambridge is a very walkable city so I would suggest wearing comfortable shoes.
