Assembly Row

Assembly Row in Somerville puts outlet shopping, restaurants and entertainment within walking distance of the Orange Line’s Assembly station. You can browse Nike Factory Store or Le Creuset, have dinner, then see a film at AMC without moving the car. Families have LEGO Discovery Center, while Lucky Strike Social and Muse Paintbar offer other ways to spend the afternoon. The Mystic River waterfront gives you somewhere to walk between stops, away from the shop windows. Individual businesses keep their own hours, so check the places you want to visit before heading over. It works for a shopping errand, but leave extra time if you’re bringing children or meeting friends for dinner.
