<p>Mastadon,</p>

<p>Can you recommend the great stores and restaurants in Davis Square? I had been there once last Aug. I am sure I will be there again in the future. :)</p>

<p>I think of Davis Sq more for eating and hanging out rather than shopping. At least that is what we tend to do when I visit D. It’s fun watching the street performers in good weather.</p>

<p>My favorite spots :
Dave’s for sandwiches
Boston Burger for both regular and veggie burgers
Diesel Café for ambiance, hot beverage & snack
Favorite new addition: Amsterdam Falafelshop
Place we need to get back to: Flatbreads for Pizza and candlepin bowling</p>

<p>I am sure that others can add to this list.</p>

<p>Here’s a list from a foodie source:

<p>The pulled pork at Redbones is decent.</p>

<p>Davis Square is what Harvard Square was like 25 years ago before all of the chains moved in… Davis Square Rocks!!!</p>
