While it’s terrific to see so many Somerville businesses honored, I would have liked to see some of the squares outside of Davis get some love as well. There are top-rate restaurants and burgeoning businesses in nearly every corner of the city and hopefully as they become more established, they too will get ranked among the best in Boston.

Congratulations to all the Somerville businesses that made the list!
