Davis Square Food Tour!

[davissquaregal]

I recently started a Davis Square food tour and would love help getting the word out. I love this community and was disheartened to see the many open store fronts as well as chains like bfresh enter the neighborhood. My mission is to support the Square as an entertainment destination so that people don't start thinking of Somerville as Assembly Row :)

Anyways, we'd love it if you would support our tiny company! The tour is a lot of fun! It's called Off The Beaten Path Food Tours & Experiences (www.offthebeatenpathfoodtours.com), and we are booking our first tours this weekend with Friday - Sunday tours being available.

By way of marketing, I'd love to hear your ideas and suggestions. We'd love help promoting it, and we're excited to showcase awesome entrepreneurs in our backyard and sample their delicious eats. If you have a guest in town, run an AirBNB, have a niece starting at Tufts, etc. etc. it's great to learn more about the history of our neighborhood and meet some local folks doing great things.

I wish you all the best for your business, but I strongly disagree that the arrival of bfresh in our neighborhood is "disheartening". People have been wanting a supermarket in Davis Square for decades, and now we have one.

Thanks!

Thanks Ron! I appreciate it so much!

Please let me clarify. I have worked in grocery for a long time even for Stop and Shop. Yes I think we are lucky to have a grocery store. However there are chains and independents that do much more to support smaller food brands, innovation, and local produce more than Stop and Shop/bfresh. Its not that location alone that disheartens me it is the overall changing to empty storefronts and less foot traffic of unique to Davis shops that I'm noting. Long love the vibrancy of the square, and I hope you please support us!
