Editor’s Note: m.A.d City has permanently closed.
Have you ever wanted to have tea with the Mad Hatter? Nibble pastries with a hookah-smoking caterpillar? How about indulge in gourmet cuisine in a spectacular setting? m.A.d City in Cambridge can help you out with at least one of those aspirations. Possibly two.
Operating out of Mass. Ave Diner in Cambridge, m.A.d City is an Alice in Wonderland eatery with enough whimsy to transport you to another dimension.
