Davis Square, Massachusetts, United States
4.5 (219 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Somerville Points of Interest & Landmarks
Positive, energetic space
This central square is a fun place for people to socialize, shop, eat, or just be outside for a bit. There are plenty of good dining options here, and also some green space (hugely important in such a densely populated urban area). There's a station here if you want to go to Boston.

Fun place to stroll around and see the sights
What a great place to walk around on a clear autumn day. There are all kinds of interesting shops - from music to comic books to clothing, and even a Goodwill store for bargain hunters. Plenty of restaurants, too, with cuisines as varied as the shops. As the sun went down I sat in the square listening to a terrific musician - people were dancing and singing along. Definitely a relaxing and fun place to spend a few hours.

One of the hidden gems just outside the city of Boston
I moved to the Boston region from New York for work back in 2012. I first moved to Waltham, MA, but then discovered Somerville, just 4 miles away from downtown Boston. Since becoming better acclimated to the Somerville area, Davis Square is by far one of my favorite places in the Boston area. This place is full of restaurants, bars, and cafes. It has a "Brooklyn, NY" type feel and friends/family visiting love it. The nightlife is not bad with the Burren's live music, the "speak-easy" establishment better known as the "Saloon", as well as other local spots such as the Foundry and Five-Horses Tavern (which serves local Trillium beer on tap). There is also a nice spot for folks to hang out, eat some icecream via JP Licks, and listen to street performs in the center of the square. A must see spot, right off the red-line T station (Davis Square).
