Our favorite breakfast/lunch joint In a Pickle Restaurant is across the street from the Waltham Common.
One of our favorite sushi restaurants is New Ginza in the neighboring town of Watertown.

Things to do/see: Cambridge
There is a TON of stuff to see in this city, we will just list the major ones that I'm sure you are well aware of.

MIT Museum - it's not your average museum!
If you feel like geeking it up for a meal, head over to Miracle of Science. Their menu is a periodic table on a large blackboard (the food is ok).

Things to do/see: Boston
Boston is the capital and largest city in Massachusetts, and is one of the oldest cities in the United States. Boston was the location of several major events during the American Revolution, including the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. Several early battles of the American Revolution, such as the Battle of Bunker Hill and the Siege of Boston, occurred within the city and surrounding areas.

Just a few of the bazzillion things to see:
Boston Duck Tours - See it all from a "W.W.II style amphibious landing vehicle" (aka, its a boat-car)
Fenway Park - Celia used to live a stones throw from the park.
Newbury Street - In Jake's old neighborhood.
Museum of Science - Boston's version of OMSI
Sam Adams Brewery - Not in the greatest of areas, but is still pretty neat
Harpoon Brewery
