The rooftop bar and street-level restaurant closed at a hotel in Central Square are due to be replaced by the owners of Vialé and Cicada Coffee Bar.

Mothership’s menu covers the bases of family dinner, shareable snacks, libations, vegetarian options and rib-sticking fill-ups, a mix of cafe and upscale casual.

With a gold-star-worthy tomato sauce, Mortadella Head is an easy favorite simple slice of pizza in Somerville’s Davis Square.

Somerville has celebrities of its own, folks who were born here, raised here or chose to live here for a while and have made their mark nationally and even globally, sometimes for the best of reasons and sometimes for the silliest.

The cafe foods that come to mind when Americans dream of Paris are at the PRB Boulangeries in Cambridge’s Kendall Square and Somerville’s Ward 2.

In a look ahead at a week of Cambridge and Somerville events, there’s a weeklong Foundry Festival with a variety of things to do, astounding art, ice skating, a Ladysmith Black Mambazo performance and a dramatic session exploring “What if AI use goes too far?”

The business aims to bring the family’s authentic Greek cooking to Somerville, with everything for the signature wraps made fresh every day.

In its classic honey glazed, Union Square Donuts served was one of the better doughnuts I’ve had in Somerville and Cambridge.
