Outdoors

From retail shopping and hot new restaurants to homestyle cooking just outside your doorstep, it’s all within your reach. Whether it’s shopping for food at one of the nearby farmers’ markets in Somerville or Medford or sampling Napalese food at Tasty Mo:Mo, 519 on Broadway is at the center of the most exceptional dining in Medford and Somerville.
Culture
Stop by the Vernon Street Studios or the Science Fiction Association during Open Studios. Somerville hosts odd and strange – yet always fun events – including an array of film festivals, food festivals, the “What the Fluff” Festival, the HONK! Festival of Street Bands, and Porchfest with more than 200 acts.
Shops
You’ll find a vast collection of the brands you love at Somerville’s Assembly Row. Explore the area from Union to Davis to Teele Square where there are countless small boutiques packed with bargains and gifts. Visit the cozy streets and vibrant shops that are just minutes away with convenient super markets, hardware stores, book shops and toy stores.
