Sounds like NYC as well. So where do all the cool kids go now?

[mturmon → chiefalchemist]

Where the rent is cheaper, always.

Harvard student here - I would like to know as well...

[virtualwhys → jnwrd]

Montreal, seriously. I grew up in Cambridge, Montreal blows the Boston area art/culture/music scene out of the water ;-)

5 hour drive but USD goes pretty far these days up in Canada; definitely worth a road trip to get a taste of Europe in North America.

Somerville :)

[eli_gottlieb → Q6T46nT668w6i3m]

As a Somerville resident... what? We're cool? Are you guys talking about that one bar in Davis with the great cookery, or the Tuesday death-metal night on Highland Ave or Slumerville Brewery or what?

[moyix → eli_gottlieb]

Probably thinking of Union Sq :) Even the New York Times thinks Somerville is hip: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/05/travel/out-of-the-shadow-o...

[Q6T46nT668w6i3m → moyix]

I was! I live on Bow St/Somerville Ave. :D

[er0l → eli_gottlieb]

Hey now. You can get some good eats at Sarma and Highland kitchen.

[eli_gottlieb → er0l]

I've never been to Highland Kitchen, but shhhhh, we do not talk about Sarma!

[sidek → Q6T46nT668w6i3m]

This is actually true.

[eropple → sidek]

Eh. Somerville is real quiet, except when HONK or whatever are going down. I enjoy it, but it's not that kind of scene.

[Q6T46nT668w6i3m → eropple]

Visit Aeronaut on a Saturday.

[eropple → Q6T46nT668w6i3m]

I haven't been there in a while. Maybe I'll do just that...

[nether → jnwrd]

Small mountain towns that will go unnamed.

[brooklyndude → jnwrd]

Bushwick, Brooklyn.

[_mhyx → brooklyndude]

Maybe 5 years ago, but Bushwick has been absorbed into the real estate/media industrial complex. Look at KCMO or Atlanta instead.

Also Chicago Bank of America took over Filter Cafe and Bucktown was worse for it
