5,000 sq ft at Elm & Chester?

I was just looking for something in the commercial rental listings on Craigslist and happened to stumble on this rental listing:

http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/off/478803910.html

It sounds like the Goodwill, doesn't it? Say it ain't so! Though I suppose it could be the old Buck-A-Book location?

Sorry about this annoying and purely speculative post. I'm just very curious when it comes to changes in Davis Sq.

[edit: petula73 says it's MacIntyre and Moore that it's referring to. phew. (not that I'm not sad to see M&M go but that's old news)]

Try La Ronga and/or City Cafe, both on Somerville Ave, both very good, but entirely different from each other. City Cafe delivers, La Ronga closes early and is wicked cheap.

Thanks!

Either of them Italian style pizza?

Italian style? I don't think so. La Ronga (http://www.larongabakery.com/) is the closest to New York style (thin crust, slightly sweet sauce) that we've had in the Boston area. City Slicker cafe (http://www.cityslickercafe.com/) (sorry, I left out the slicker in the previous post) is more like a cheese and toppings tart with a very short crust made with olive oil. It's very crunchy and can occasionally be overly greasy, but when it's right, it's fantastic. The folks at City Slicker used to run Urban Gourmet in Ball Square before the Sound Bites owners bought them out (and were subsequently burned out).

I believe you mean City Slicker Cafe, which is phenomenal. It's the same as the Urban Gourmet that burned down in Ball Sq.

I just had City Slicker for the first time last week, and I'm officially converted. I love it.
