SACCO'S BOWL: a Davis Square classic. You just can't beat old- timey candlepin bowling (a New England classic!) with modern day flatbread pizza and really good beer. It's a no-brainer. (You can get salad too)

Lunch/Coffee. Their breakfast burrito is my kinda yummy. Plus who can argue with cappuccino, a pool table, and a b/w photo booth. You have to hawk to score a table there though.

Restau/Bar. I am not much of a meat eater, but people swear by this place for ribs and all that jazz. It's kind of a tradition with a fiercely loyal following.

Tired from a long flight? Lemon Thai will not let you down. Phone in your order and walk 30 seconds down the hill to pick it up (faster than their delivery) and really hits the spot.

Little known cafe at the Armory a short walk away. I think it's student run. They have wi-fi. If you're here in winter there's also a great farmer's market in the Armory building every Saturday until about 2pm.

There's one in Davis Square now!! It's ultra-clean fuel made to taste as good as food that's bad for you: veggies and sauces, nuts and cheese, and whole grains and legumes - all organic - basically what I cook at home but with a fantastic juice bar too! So so good.

Sightseeing

The very beauty a New England Beach should be. What I grew up with. You can take the commuter rail there, and walk an easy 15 min through coastal mansion land to get there, but fair warning...I hear they now charge a walk-on fee.
