Watertown
Watertown is Boston's quiet Armenian heartland, and a date here works because nobody is performing. Start at Arax Market or Sevan Bakery on Mount Auburn Street, walk out with lahmajun and string cheese, and you have already learned more about your date than two cocktails would tell you. Eastern Lamejun Bakers anchors the older crowd; Branch Line at the Arsenal Yards handles the after. The Charles River path from Watertown Square to Galen Street is the unsung stretch, joggers thin out by eight. This is post-Allston, pre-mortgage territory: people who moved here on purpose, who cook, who own a Dutch oven.
