Davis Square
Abandoned train cars on the tracks under I-93 between Community and Sullivan Stations on the Orange line.  You may recognize them from 'The Town'!  Bit of a creepy walk to get to them.

We stayed in Somerville because it was cheaper than staying in the city of Boston- which is where we needed to get to everyday. The trip to Boston was about 20 mins and very scenic! Somerville had many great restaurant choices.
