  1. These neighborhood profiles are fantastic. Lived in Davis Square 30 years ago and so appreciated learning about ALL the interesting places that are thriving there now. Your scouting detail is super. I’ve forwarded several profiles to my Freshman student in the hopes it will encourage them to go beyond Comm Ave and take advantage of all the affordable and diverse venues Boston has to offer. Thanks for the good work, looking forward to more.

  2. You guys should do one of these on Assembly Square/East Somerville, lots of diverse restaurants, and lots of shops. We’ve got Maya Sol, Guachos, Taco Loco, Vinnys (Best Subs), Leones (little bit further down Broadway), and then all the restaurants in Assembly Row. Not sure how many BU students know about it, but it’s a nice place to hang out.

  3. Ever since the Green Line Extension was completed, the Somerville Community Path follows the Green Line tracks all the way to Paul Revere Park, making for an easy bike commute into Boston. Please update this article.

  4. One of my favorite parts of the Boston area. You really captured the variety of local places to eat, drink and shop–and the movie theater is often overlooked. Dave’s Fresh Pasta is a fantastic place to get fresh pasta and grilled sandwiches–do not miss!

  5. Almost totally unrecognizable since my youth — except for the Rosebud and the Somerville Theater, and even those places have changed a lot. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Long gone are the Woolworth’s, Grant’s, Gordon’s, the Bargain Basement, the jewelry store I worked at in high school, and the Waldorf cafeteria which dispensed white-bread sandwiches out of an automated machine. I remember being totally confused upon first reading about Holden’s trip to the Waldorf in New York in the “Catcher in the Rye.” LOL
