We are visiting Cambridge/Boston this weekend and a friend advised we park at Porter Exchange while visiting Cambridge. Since we'll get there by lunchtime we'll have lunch in the area before visiting Harvard and MIT. Any family-friendly places you can recommend? I see that there are several Japanese food spots in Kotobukiya Market itself, but I tried to find reviews and only found a short reference to Ittyo. The nearer (a few blocks max) to Kotobukiya Market the better. Thanks!

Whoops, change of plans. We don't have to park at Porter Exchange. So if you have recommendations anywhere near the Museum of Natural History that would be great! Thanks!

Kotobukiya is in the basement of the old Sears building near the Porter Square T stop. On the same floor, there is a whole arcade of Japanese food stalls. I like the one at the end of the row that makes udon, though there are separate stalls for ramen, sushi, etc.

Kotobukiya is a Japanese grocery store that sells anything a homesick Japanese person could possibly want, including imported Japanese toilet paper. They have Japanese beef for sukiyaki, dried cuttlefish snacks, Pocari Sweat, you name it.
