FCIL Librarians from New England pass on Boston sightseeing tips:

Silke Sahl: I love Schoenhof's bookstore in Harvard Square. I like the whale watching tour in Boston and the Freedom Trail.

Annette Demers: For a great, hearty and cheap Indian lunch buffet, try Cafe of India. 52A Brattle Street, Harvard Square (617) 661-0683. For only around $7.00 you have a wonderful all you can eat buffet that includes the soup of the day (always a unique and delightful choice), an appetizer, and four or five main dish Indian stews including several vegetarian selections. You also get rice and nan bread. The restaurant has a terrific Indian atmosphere and great service.

Stephanie Burke: The Helmand restaurant (143 1st Street, Cambridge, 617-492-4646) near the Cambridge Side Galleria and Lechmere T stop featuring Afghan cuisine. The Helmand boasts a very large vegetarian menu as well as many lamb and beef dishes. The atmosphere is comfortable, not too loud and the service is good, too.
