Transportation: Bump-n-grinding in Somerville
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Train
    Getting TO/AROUND: Bump-n-grinding with other cars is just not that fun (or friendly). So, just like with the rest of Boston, don't drive if you can help it. Boston's subway system, the 'T' will get you most places and within a short walking distance of much more. The 'T' is operated by the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA) and you can check them out on the web at http://www.mbta.com.

    Located on the Western banks of the Charles River just behind Cambridge, Somerville is serviced by the Red and Orange Lines of the 'T', Boston's subway system. The Red Line stops at Porter Square and Davis Square while the Orange Line hits Sullivan Square.

    Other than the 'T', cabs are fairly easy to obtain, but try to get a cabbie that is local to the area, especially if you aren't sure where you are going. The Green Cab company of Somerville is good as they can get you just about anywhere on minimal information. Just don't expect a downtown Boston cab company to know the local joints or how to get to them.

     Dali's Tapas Bar was my favourite place to eat while I lived in MA. Their goats cheese and tomato tapas was something else!

     Slummerville is out of control! Great hood, but my sis lives on Teele Square and pays a mint. The changes make my head spin. "Savannah Cafe" is great...
