Young Audiences of Massachusetts is the leading source for arts education programs in the Commonwealth. Since 1962, they have been the vital link between Massachusetts' best performing artists and the region's school children. Their mission is to initiate lifelong involvement in the arts by making them integral to every child's education. Through Young Audiences, students experience a broad range of programs - everything from African drumming to Shakespeare. And through Young Audiences, schools can tailor these programs to their specific needs - from a one-time performance to multi-week programs each year. YA offers assembly programs that bring the excitement of live performance to school audiences; workshops that provide students the opportunity to work closely with the performing artists they just saw perform on the stage; and residencies, that consist of a series of student workshops and culminating events that take place over an extended period of time, sometimes several months.

The school has its own line of herbal formulas, specialized conditioning programs with countless testimonials of individuals gaining back certain conditions they did not think possible. Walk by the school and see young children to the elderly practicing "Oom Yung Doe".

Nestled in the entranceway leading to the Davis Square T stop, Au Petit Pain is a small, quick-stop convenience mart perfect for that soda or coffee on the go. While the name implies that it offers bread, they do have a decent selection of pre-made muffins and snacks. And yes, the “petit” part of this shop’s name is applicable—this hole in the wall is small but packed with a lot of goodies for the on-the-go commuter.
