This is where Graham works, making what Emily calls "the only palatable bagels in Boston."
Come relive our first date! For best results, go in on a chilly Monday afternoon in November, filled with existential dread caused by a recent election.
The third sister restaurant to Mamaleh's and State Park! French Canadian style. Oh, and Rochester folks: they have Molson and Labatt.
In addition to being one of the best places to see the funniest, prettiest, weirdest performances in town, this is the location of our second date, wherein Graham watched Emily perform as a small goblinesque character in a live band/burlesque adaptation of A Nightmare Before Christmas. Coming to town Friday or Saturday? Go see Niki Luparelli's 7th annual live band and burlesque tribute to David Bowie!
Traveling with small humans? The Puppet Showplace - where Emily worked in grad school many moons ago - has shows perfect for the 4-7 year old set.
Last-minute outfit change? Fear not: the Garment District is a stone's throw from Kendall and is two floors of secondhand goodness, plus all the glitter eyelashes and fake mustaches your heart desires.
This brand-new market is super cute and very Somerville - just in case you need to pick up some enamel pins or artisanal pierogies while you're here.
Yes, we know it's November. But nothing's more New England than eating ice cream even when the weather's miserable out, right? Also, three words: marshmallow fluff cones.
