The Davis Square area, where we live, is full of great restaurants and shops. Enjoy a walk along the Somerville Community Path with a cup of coffee from Nine Bar Espresso, a movie in the chic Somerville Theater, a speakeasy cocktail at The Saloon, a comic from Comicazi, or a nicknack from Davis Squared or Magpie. For kids and those with a sweet tooth, you'll find a treat in the summer heat from JP Licks in the main square. Please don't forget to indulge your taste buds with a magnificent burrito and jarrito from Anna's Taqueria, one of the finest Mexican lunches from a native Boston chain.
Harvard Square has incredible views of the Charles River. Pick up a book from The Coop, Harvard University's gift shop, a tasty burger from Tasty Burger, and watch the scullers and crew teams row down the water.
