The Deli is open for breakfast and lunch (CLOSED MONDAYS), and has amazing sandwiches, coffee, and more.

The Charles River Greenway is a great place to walk, run, or bike! It's a nice path away from the road that runs along the Charles River and goes all the way to Boston. You can catch it anywhere along the river - Newton Street is a close option from our house. I did most of my marathon training on this path!
