Davis Square

by 
Mat Budelman

Officially designated as a square by the City of Somerville in 1883, Davis Square has a long history as a nearby neighbor to downtown Boston. However, it wasn't until the late 1980's that the square and surrounding blocks began to boom, after the MBTA extended the Red line to Davis. Today, Davis is a vibrant nightlife and dining district bustling with a unique mix of hipsters, college kids, young parents, and professionals. It's got everything one might need—but if not—you'll find yourself a short five stops on the T to Park Street Station and downtown Boston.

Candlepin Bowling is a New England original that everyone should try, and speaking of originals, these lanes have been here since the 1940’s. If that wasn’t reason enough to come here, the space was expanded to offer pizza from the American Flatbread Company, and a long bar serving a variety of craft brews overlooking the lanes. It’s also great for big groups and families with it’s large dining area. *Pro Tip: The bowling lanes are limited and get taken fast, better to make your lane reservations first (in-person only for less than 8 people) then relax with a drink.*
