Davis Square...a happening place! and other Somerville, MA Things to Do Tips

Davis Square epitomizes what I would call the "new" Somerville: young, vibrant, eclectic. There are a number of good restaurants here, ranging from Indian to ribs to an old-fashioned diner (Mike's, seen in the photo). The Somerville Theatre, a fine second-run movie theatre that also features live acts, is located here. There's also a great used bookstore here, featuring not only used books but antique books as well. Davis Square is a haven for students of the nearby Tufts University.

Davis Square is accessible from the T's Red Line, at the Davis Square station.

Prospect Hill Park is a small park on Prospect Hill. It offers great views of Boston, and also features an old Revolutionary War era fort. You cannot go inside the fort, but you can walk on its ramparts and look out at Boston.
