The Globe’s Devra First endorses all of Cambridge. Others choose Allston or Kendall Square. Penny and Ed Cherubino of BostonZest choose Central Square. Good for them.
For us, Central Square, Cambridge. With Craigie on Main, Salts, Rendezvous Central Square, Central Kitchen, Central Bottle + Provisions, Flour Bakery, Floating Rock… It’s within walking distance of our Back Bay home, has both bus and subway connections, and is a great destination for food lovers.
