a bunch of random questions

[la-ti-da.livejournal.com]

i just moved to davis square. i know many of these have been asked, but i'll ask again. please feel free to offer advice on any or all of these!

1. i live near holland & simpson (near mr. crepe). i commute up 93N and am wondering what is the best way and time to get to the highway? i.e. no traffic (this inludes pedestrians and bikers). w/o traffic it takes me 5 min. to get to the highway going up to broadway, through powderhouse circle, then warner/harvard to 93. in the mornings lately, it has been taking me 15-20!! i have also tried broadway to 16E to 93, and also 15-20 min. is there a better time to leave?

1a. anyone want to carpool to the tewksbury area?

2. best dry cleaners nearby. reasonably priced b/c i have to do a whole pile.

3. good place to get a pedicure.

4. good place to get a massage.

5. cool ways to get exercise (e.g. dance studios, yoga, martial arts... very open to new things)

6. good place to go to clean your car (exterior/interior)? i was recommended srubadub in woburn, but maybe there is a place closer by that is also good?

7. any random fun things i forgot to ask about (restaurants/bars/hangouts, etc).

thanks for any tips! :)

1) Take College street off the powderhouse rotary. At the light at Tufts, go straight. Turn right at the stop sign, then left at the T intersection. You'll see the highway entrance ahead at the overpass.

6) Cambridge Car Wash on Mass Ave near porter. Awesome place!

7) Mr. Crepe!! Also, Redbones, also Sabur (also on Holland), also Soliel Cafe (in Teele, but not more than 5 blocks walk), also, Diesel Cafe, also, Joshua Tree. I love Davis, there's so much to do.

College connects Davis and the Powderhouse rotary, but it also continues past Tufts on the other side of the rotary.

Yeah, they are not the same place. This place is definitely in Cambridge.

College Street by the ballfield. ;) Not into the square.

is the cambridge one better than the somerville?

See, I wouldn't know. I'm only saying that the Cambridge one is awesome. I do not know if they are affiliated in any way. I have not ever tried the Somerville Car Wash.
