Suffolk
Suffolk is the metro's largest city by area, which is a polite way of saying you will drive. The peanut-and-pine acreage southwest of the water reads rural to suburban, with new subdivisions pushing into old farmland and a downtown that is genuinely trying. Dating here is a logistics exercise: a Harbour View dinner, a Main Street cocktail, a long quiet ride home through the dark. The upside is space, lower rent, and the sense that nobody is watching. The downside is that nobody is watching, which is also how second-date plans quietly die on the couch.
