Donnellan Square

This tight triangle plaza functions as a neighborhood living room where regulars stop in before, during, or after the workday. It is a social pocket where everyone seems to know each other. While you might have to hunt for an open bench during busier times, it is a friendly, low-key spot to bring some takeout—though you should be prepared to share a few bites with the local pigeons and friendly neighbors who happen to strike up a conversation.
