At night, you'll run into a lot of university students, but it's still worth swinging by to see the local restaurants. There is often someone playing music in the square after 5pm.

Candlepin bowling may be one of Somerville's oldest gems. If you're less than 6 people, you'll need to show up in person for a lane. I recommend leaving about 2 hours to be on the waitlist. Tons of gluten-free options here.
