restaurants, and shaving soap

[studeronomy.livejournal.com]

I am new to the area, and living just north of Davis Square near Tufts. I've done a fair amount of exploring, but getting to know a new area takes a lot of time. Anyway, this question may seem broad, but I figured it was appropriate to this community: what are some of the not-to-be-missed restaurants in the immediate area? Where is the best sushi in the area (I know I know, an uber-hipster request)? I suppose I could offer some useful information regarding my taste in food, but I'm more curious about which restaurants in the area people are really passionate about, and why.

I'm sure this community gets a question like this once every week or so; if so, I apologize.

A more specific question: is there anywhere in Davis Square (or the surrounding area) I can buy quality shaving soap for shaving with a straight edge razor?

Hana Sushi on Mass Ave. near Davis. They deliver too, but I've never done the delivery thing with them.
