Where Somerville goes out to eat
Davis Square, where Elm Street, Holland Street and Highland Avenue meet, has restaurants, bars, cafés and a historic theatre, so kitchen and bar shifts there run late into the evening. Teele Square, up Holland Street where it meets Broadway, has a smaller cluster of restaurants and shops.
Union Square mixes restaurants and bars with markets run by the many communities living around it, and Bow Market, a courtyard of small shops and kitchens just off the square, adds more counter and cooking work. Ball Square is compact, with bakeries, cafés and dinner spots, while Assembly Row by the Mystic River has chain restaurants, bars and a beer garden.
The jobs run from line and prep cooks to dishwashers, servers, bartenders, baristas and bakery counter staff. Davis sits on the Red Line, Union Square and Ball Square are on the Green Line, and Assembly is on the Orange Line, so many kitchens here are a short walk from a train.
