Davis Square
The best savory baked goods, good soup, strong coffee. The feta tomato squares are unique and delicious.   Local artists featured on the walls.

Ward Two

If you're spending some time in Ward Two, Wine & Cheese Cask and Artisans Asylum are top sights worth seeing.

Ward Two
Buddy’s Diner, one of my favorite local spots to eat. Come early on a weekend morning, this tiny diner car fills up fast and only stays open through lunch! A really great old school friendly, local vibe!

East Somerville

Though East Somerville might not have many top sights, you can venture to the surrounding area to see attractions like TD Garden and Encore Boston Harbor.

East Somerville
Abandoned train cars on the tracks under I-93 between Community and Sullivan Stations on the Orange line.  You may recognize them from 'The Town'!  Bit of a creepy walk to get to them.

We stayed in Somerville because it was cheaper than staying in the city of Boston- which is where we needed to get to everyday. The trip to Boston was about 20 mins and very scenic! Somerville had many great restaurant choices.
