Good places?

[stariel25]

Hi all! I'm brand new here (moved on Wednesday from Seattle) and I live in between Porter and Davis Square. What are some cool places to check out. Stores, restaurants, coffee shops, anything really. I'm a vegetarian, so any good veggie restaurant suggestions would be appreciated too. Of course places in Cambridge or near the Longwood Medical area are good too.

The new Tibetan restaurant on Elm St. (can't remember the name, across from Namaskar) has a decent vegetarian menu selection. I ate there for the first time a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed it a lot.

Speaking of Namaskar, that's a yummy Indian restaurant. Diva, up the street a block or so, is also yummy.

Anna's Taqueria (on Elm and also in Porter Sq., same building as Pier 1) has a very yummy grilled vegetable burrito, but don't get the rice -- I hear they use chicken stock to make it.

Blue Shirt Cafe has excellent smoothies.

There is a stealth donut bakery at the intersection of Morrison and Highland Road (NOT Highland Ave.). It's unmarked, but you can smell it, and if their door is open, you can walk in and buy fresh donuts for like 25 cents apiece.

"Martsa on Elm" -- very yummy. Their "ice coffee" is actually a european style cafe frappee, and quite wonderful. Tibetan is quite similar to Indian, only, of course, not. :)

aha!
