davis square

There are a lot of restaurants and pubs in the Davis Square area of Somerville. Some of the best food in town can be found here at the Boston Burger Company and Redbones and Rosebud and way too many other places to mention. If you are looking for a place to go, where you can walk in 5 minutes from the Red Line to 20 or more places to eat or have a drink, Davis Square should be on your list. Enjoy!

I lived in DSquare and to date is my favorite neighborhood in Somerville/Boston area. There is so much happening throughout the year but my absolute favorite weekend is Honk Festival. Activist Brass bands come from all over the world to perform. Honk Fest bands perform at various locations all over Davis and on Sunday there is a parade all the way to Harvard Sq. It;s absolute crazy, insane fun for the whole family. https://www.facebook.com/honkfestivalLots of great restaurants and pubs. The Somerville Theatre has movies and concerts of all types. Top touring musicians, world music and dance. Make sure to get to J.P. Licks for GREAT ice cream and frozen yogurt. On the Redline and easy to get there from Boston Park Street station or Charles St station. Only a few stops past Harvard Sq. If you are visiting Boston and like to get away from the tourists, jump on the Red Line and Jump off at the Davis Stop. Lots of artists, musicians and students live there so it is a very vibrant neighborhood.

This is the greatest neighborhood. Check out all the restaurants--Posto for a treat, Saloon for some bourbon, Flatbread pizza for bowling while you eat, Diesel Cafe for coffee and pool. Shops--Dave's pasta, The Shaker for all things mixed drinks, the bike path, Johnny D's for great music, The Somerville theater for concerts, terrific movies, and the Museum of Bad Art in the basement.

Fun bar scene and awesome restaurants! I always go out here with friends. Cannot wait for nicer weather as I'm sure there were will be a ton of festivals and events!

I love J.P. Licks here, also they have the Somerville Theater which has new movies and old ones as well as performances. Also the entrance to the bike path is here so you can bike/run here. They have a farmers market at the parking lot by Sacco's Bowling which has lots of fresh ingredients and delicious Taza Chocolate.

Harvard Square and the Back Bay having now priced themselves out of the stratosphere for independent restaurants and retailers, the latter have been casting around for a new hub where they can thrive.Davis Square, only just over a mile as the crow flies from Harvard and on the fast and efficient MBTA Red Line, has caught this wave and is thriving. There are plenty of interesting shops, restaurants, bars and coffee-houses in this area that is becoming more and more fashionable yet preserves a nice local-neighbourhood feel. "Old Somerville" still survives cheek-by-jowel with trendy ice-cream and eco-cafes, and it works well, providing a relaxing atmosphere. If you want to know what's best about living in the Boston area, come to Davis Square. It's not grand or particularly picturesque but it's very very pleasant.

Boy, Davis Square sure has changed! The red line stops in two locations here. There are a lot of buses that begin and end in a lot next to the College Ave red line station entrance/exit. There is a theater with first-run movies and concerts, also offering the mouth-watering Richardson's ice cream (competing with J.P. Licks directly across the street). There is a CVS and a Rite-Aid just a couple of blocks apart. Several banks (Bank of America, Citizens, and a credit union). A bowling alley. A post office. An insurance agency. A convenience store. A Goodwill Thrift Shop. A Buffalo Exchange used clothing store. Consignment furniture shops. Family Dollar discount retail outlet. A used CD/DVD outlet. Several hair salons. A farmer's market every Wednesday. Lots of food places. Where to begin? Mike's Pizza (has lots more than that), Flatbread pizza at the bowling alley, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, The Burren Irish Restaurant, Red Bones BBQ, Rosebud Diner (in an old rail car), Thai food, Chinese food, Japanese food, Posto's pizza (homemade mozzarella and crushed tomatoes made fresh daily), Gift shops. There are more eateries, but I can't name them all. A butcher shop. A massage therapy spa. A tanning salon. A couple of liquor stores. There is just a ton of stuff all in this little area. Walking distance to Porter Square, where there are even more places to eat.

With a bunch of restaurants, cafes, bars, ice cream, movies and small stores, this area is excellent to trolling around, see people and things, and then have some nice food.

We were recently staying in nearby Medford but had to travel to the Davis Square subway station frequently in order to get Red Line subway trains into Boston. The trains always seemed to run frequently but the Service 96 bus that we had to take to and from to Medford was more often late than on time. Could do better folks!

Great for Dates or lazy days in town. THere are many quaint shops and great places to eat. But, bring your checkbook - this hipster paradise is not cheap

You can always count on the 99 for good food, free popcorn, one dollar cheese and cracker plate, cold beer or a good drink, and friendly atmosphere. Their salads are excellent as is their baked scrod. They have plenty of Televisions so you can catch whatever sporting event that interests you! There are 99 good reasons to visit the 99!

I really like to go out here, have some dinner and then move from bar to bar and chat with friends. I like the Boston Burger Company to start with and then move on to the bars in the neighborhood.

If you enjoy trying all different ethnic foods this is the place to go. A great place for date night as you can find food, music, shows and great places for a drink. If you're into finding inexpensive books, clothes and treasures try the Goodwill Store, you never know what you might find! I grew up in Davis Square during the 50s and 60s and wow what a change from the quiet square to a hip hoppin place.

Windows were displayed nicely with several places to have a light meal or a drink. Had a nice atmosphere to it.

I enjoy Davis Square. It is clean and safe and there is always something you can do. Their restaurants vary from fast food chains to casual dining. There are also a few shops to pop into.
