Like many of the city’s other villages, Newtonville is home to a historic district. Primarily residential, the heart of the village is home to some commercial businesses. The village center is a large commercial hub bisected by the Massachusetts Turnpike with businesses clustered on Washington and Walnut Street. Newtonville is also home to one of the city’s two high schools, Newton North High School.
Some of Katherine’s favorite locations in Newtonville include Cook Restaurant, LeDu Thai, Cabots Ice Cream and Restaurant, Los Amigos Taqueria, Shaws Market, and George Howell Coffee.
