Zoe's
1105 Massachusetts AveAbout 10 blocks away and the BEST Chinese food ever.
Best pizza. This tiny place is really the best pizza in town. It is where Matt Damon and Ben Affleck go when they come home. Very tiny, ask someone if you can't find it.

Where all of Harvard goes for lunch. My Chinese guests think the food is great -- a better recommendation than mine, I think. The people are nice and speak Chinese.

MIT is very nice; they are used to guests walking around and are very helpful. There is an information office to the right as you enter. If you walk down the infinite corridor you will be at the other side of the building. In the center is an exit to the side that faces the Charles River and is a big park!

Harvard University
3 Oxford StreetThe North End is where all the influx of immigrants use to land; the Irish, the Italians, etc. However, when the Italians came they settled there and it is our "little Italy." My Italian friends say it is like being in an old Italian streets. It can get a bit crowded on weekends and in the warm weather. They have great festivals and coffee shops and food.

Zip car started in Boston and there are three locations nearby. Check out zipcar.com; you need to sign, which is great if you want to get a car in most cities in the US. It is a national service.
