We live in 66 Summer. About as downtown as it gets. It’s about a 1-2 min walk to Columbus park where Fido senior can do his business if he’s not down for a long walk, and about 4-5 minutes from Mill River Park which is bigger and has a small dog park if he’s up for it.

Walking distance to 20 bars/restaurants.

Only walkable grocery shopping is Target. Which is fine for quick runs, but honestly not great for weekly shopping. I drive/take the bus to Stop n Shop 10 min down the road for that.

2.5 good coffee shops within walking distance (Winfield, Honey Joe’s, Lorca-this one’s a little bit further). 1 even closer Dunkin if you hate yourself, which I often do.

Another thought: if you guys are really wanting to meet people, Urby seemed like it was geared especially toward social 20/30-somethings, with events and gatherings held within the complex. I can’t remember all the amenities, but I do recall being shown an area where they held cooking classes.

I believe they also have their own coffee shop in the building.

Urby is in the downtown area, but is a little further away from the bar/restaurant strip of Summer/Bedford street, but still walkable. However, you’re not walking to get groceries from here.

66 Summer is one of the best buildings in town IMO - I also live on Summer St downtown. The Target-only grocery store issue is one we all face!
