 | |  |  | Boston's Neighborhoods: Davis....One Great Square! | Tip Rating:    |  |  | |  |
I discovered Davis Square on my first trip to Boston. Located in Somerville (Cambridge), there is a great Bed and Breakfast (See my tip on Morrison House) and evrything you need for a great vacation located within easy walking distance. In July, the Somerville Arts Council throws a big block party in Davis Square. You can pick up great bargains made by local artists. Paul Fata is always a hit. Davis is on the Red Line MBTA stop. Before leaving the station say hello to Sayid behind the counter. Get the Mango Juice Smoothie while you're there. The Square has it all. There's JP Licks for ice cream, Diesel Cafe for great salads and Raspberry Lime Rickeys, street musicians performing nightly, Jonny D's for food and great music, McIntyre and Moore for book browsing and more music. Check out the funky bargains at the local Goodwill store. Videos are $1.99, paperbacks are $.79 and this is Boston after all so you won't believe what you'll find in this place! The "locals" who shop here are a treat for the eyes and ears. They could all be extras in a John Waters movie! One of the best meat market/delis is also here; McKinnon's. Stop in for pic nic supplies (cheeeeeep is the word). Try the Hoods lemonade. I took home containers of the black olives and pepperoni I bought here. It was THAT good. The people who run this place are the nicest in Boston without a doubt, that's why folks come from all over Boston to shop here.

Boston and its surrounding towns have a lot of Squares. The Squares are not square in the geometry-sense of the word, rather they are areas where several streets intersect. Each Square has its own flavor. The closest T station is indicated by its corresponding color. ie: Harvard is on the red line. Boston Copley Square : Copley Kenmore Square : Kenmore Post Office Square : Dewey Square : Cambridge Harvard Square : Harvard Home of Harvard University- Massachusetts Avenue, Brattle Street, and John F. Kennedy Street. Porter Square : Porter Massachusetts Avenue and Somerville Avenue, between Harvard and Davis Squares.
