Beautiful place to walk or bike around. There is a wooden platform great for bird viewing, and some pretty trails. The sunset views are excellent and its a popular kayaking spot. I wouldn't go here at night. Its also hard to get to unless you have a car because you have to go around the highway and major roads.

Anyone who misses the old Harvard Square (before the big chains took over) will appreciate Davis Sq in Somerville. There are places to sit and listen to the frequent live performers, and many independent restaurants, coffee shops, etc. Also a few chains like Starbucks. Some of my go-to places are: Mikes for a low-cost meal, Diesel Cafe for coffee, Mr. Crepe for delicious crepes, Out of the Blue for excellent seafood and the Burren for live music. Just outside the square I like Orleans restaurant, Painted Burro for upscale Mexican, Tenoch for inexpensive Mexican and Posto for upscale Italian including great pizza. These are just the tip of the iceberg. There are Asian noodle shops, more Mexican and pizza places, a classic diner, bakeries, clothing stores, singles bars, etc.

Went here with friends on a Saturday night and the beer selection was great. I tried 3 very different brews - a Douple IPA, a Sour, and Stout, and loved all three. It was busy as expected and hard to find a table, but loved that they had a live band performing and there were ample games available. Overall great vibe and would recommend!
