Can anyone recommend a good (and reasonably affordable) accountant in Somerville?

Davis Square Streetscape Improvement Project: new website

[ron_newman]

As a followup to the five public meetings held earlier this year, the City of Somerville has created a website about the Davis Square Streetscape Improvement Project:

This is all still in a very preliminary design stage, and has no funding yet. The page links to presentations made at the public meetings.

Lovecraft fans: come see The Whisperer in Darkness!

If you're a fan of H.P. Lovecraft and Cthulhu, on January 15 you can see an exclusive, one-night-only showing of The Whisperer in Darkness at the Capitol Theatre in Arlington.

We're organizing this screening through Gathr, which means we need 40 people to reserve tickets before January 8 to make this happen. So far we've got 21, so reserve now to make sure the event takes place. The event is SOLD OUT!

Just click here to reserve. Thanks!

Coffee shop for a job interview?

[hahathor.livejournal.com]

This is a request for a rather specific recommendation. I've been interviewing with a company that does research related to the arts; they're opening an office in the Boston area early next year. I've had several phone interviews that have gone quite well, and I'm meeting with my potential boss (a former Harvard student) on Friday afternoon. They don't have local space yet, and she says she misses Davis so we should meet at a coffee shop near me. I'd generally default to the Diesel, but I'm concerned about both finding a table and about getting interrupted (because everyone I know hangs out at the Diesel). Any thoughts? Starbucks seems a bit too corporate. Maybe Mr. Crepe?

ETA: The interview is at 2 pm on Friday. Not primo coffee shop activity hour.

ETA: Thanks for all the awesome selections. I've opted for iYo for a few reasons: 1) She specifically requested a coffee place in Davis Square; while there are plenty of awesome suggestions below which are either not in Davis or not coffee houses, I did want the opportunity of showing that yes, I am capable of quickly, efficiently, and competently doing what is requested of me (it's a client-facing job, this is an important skill to have and demonstrate), 2) several people whom I know and respect have suggested it, and 3) I've never been there before.
