"I’m talking about Bow Market in Somerville, Massachusetts, a new-ish strip mall–ish joint that’s the perfect amount of busy: buzzy, without being jam-packed. It helps that the setup is a two-story ring of 30+ small, separate establishments—each with its own real door!—surrounding a central courtyard where you can take your food to-go. Oh, and the food! There’s bimbimap from Perillas, natural wine from feminist bar Rebel Rebel, crunchy bar pizza from Hot Box, fluffy pierogies from Jaju, or fancy chocolates made with fresh, local ingredients from Gâté Comme des Filles." - ByEmily Schultz
