Looks like I may be moving to Somerville.... *crossing fingers for luck*

I haven't come to an agreement with my potential landlord yet about the place, but if the stars are right, I may be moving to Somerville, to a place on Central Street. That's Union Square, right?

I think it is walking distance from Davis Square, looking at the map, but I don't know the area that well yet, so I was wondering if folks could give me the skinny on different parts of Somerville and what they are like in terms of fun and overall hipness.

I'm a fan of The Burren, but I would love to knwo more about what Union Square would have to offer!

Also what is parking like in that area? Is it difficult to find a parking space to rent?

Ok, Summer & Central is about between Union & Porter Squares. There's stuff to do in each. Davis is a bit more of a hike, but still only 10-15 minutes away.

Union has a coffee shop with (I'm told) free wifi. There's Toast, which is becoming a hep place among those in the know. Myself, I'm more of a laid-back grab a pint and chill type, so the Tir Na Nog, which is a great little Irish pub, is perfect.

Red House and All Asia have good Chinese food. If you have days free, India Palace does a cheap and tasty lunch buffet.

Parking on Central can be had without a permit. Just be respectful of your neighbors.
