Vita Course at Menotomy Rocks Park
KarenandCory Says: I have an early childhood memory of picnicing at a park and then doing exercises in the woods. I remember walking on a path with exercise equipment in the middle of the woods. My most vivid memory is the delight I had watching Daddy on the chin-up bar. This was back in the...
KarenandCory Says: Menotomy Rocks Park has a pond and walking trails in the woods. It's a good spot for a picnic or romantic stroll. Lots of people walk their dogs here. I've seen families fishing but I don't think you can swim in the pond. I hadn't been here in at least 25 years and although...

Krazy Karry's Backyard Grill: Eat burgers while you get harassed.
TravelingDick Says: I found myself in need of food while avoiding the locals, so I stumbled upon what appeared to be a safe haven , Krazy Karry's Backyard Grill. First and formost , the sign outside is crooked! ? If I had to guess , I think someone was trying to put a clever accent on the...
Krazy Karry's: Krazy Karry's; Burgers and Inventive spelling
KarenandCory Says: The owner of Krazy Karry's is very attentive and even a little quirky. Chances are good that he'll stop by your table to say hello and he just might ask you, "Are these are the best burgers you've ever had?" Back when the restaurant first opened, I overheard the owner asking...
Tryst: Tryst : Fine Dining in Arlington
KarenandCory Says: Arlington has many restaurants come and go. I usually stick to my local favorites and go out of town to eat. I never noticed Tryst before but saw it on opentable.com, a website I trust for fine dining recommendations. Tryst is a wonderful find! I hope it doesn't disappear...
KarenandCory Says: Tango presents Argentinean cuisine, with an emphasis on beef. The menu also offers chicken, seafood, and pasta dishes. But, it's the steak that Tango is known for.Tango is only open for dinner. The restaurant has too many tables for it's small size, I felt awkward and more...
TU Y YO: Authentic Mexican in Somerville
KarenandCory Says: If you tire of the dozens of restaurants in Arlington, fear not, for nearby towns have great places to eat too! This is one of my favorites.Tu y Yo is an authentic Mexican restaurant in Somerville. You will not find typical Boston-area "Tex-Mex" here. Tu y Yo serves homemade...
Arlington Restaurant & Diner: The Arlington DIner
KarenandCory Says: I was surprised recently when I read reviews on the Arlington Diner, most of them were very negative and full of nitpicking from whining, picky people. The Arlington Diner certainly doesn't have the best food in the world or the best service but with all the choices in the...
Jimmy's Steer House: A local favorite
KarenandCory Says: Jimmy's has been around for as long as I can remember and before the restaurant boom in Arlington it was the only local place to get a good and inexpensive meal. Now that the town is restaurant-rich, Jimmy's is still old reliable. Jimmy's is huge compared to other...
The Olive Branch: The Olive Branch
KarenandCory Says: The Olive Branch is located off the beaten path of Mass. Ave on nearby Broadway St. Unlike many Arlington restaurants, The Olive Branch has parking and uncrowded seating. Wow!The Olive Branch serves Mediterranean cuisine, specializing in Middle Eastern, Greek, and Italian...
KarenandCory Says: Scutra isn't on the main dining stip of Mass. Ave so I will label it a "hidden gem", although it's popular enough that reservations are recommended. Like many restaurants in Arlington, Scutra is small with tables too close together. Unlike many restaurants in Arlington,...
KarenandCory Says: Lakota Bakery in Arlington Heights has incredible cookies. Lemon macaroon cookie- picture is from their website- Yum!
Shanghai Village: Shanghai Village
KarenandCory Says: Arlington has a lot of chinese food and they range from average take-out to good sit down places. Shanghai Village is one of the good places to sit down and eat. I would say Shanghai Village is standard, the quality is good. Shanghai Village serves Mandarin, Szechuan,...
Wild Women: Hold 'em back, they are wild and crazy!
KarenandCory Says: When I hear the words "Wild Women" I don't visualize Yoga Balls, Baby Strollers or Tents. But, hey, that's just me. Wild Women specializes in products for active women who enjoy the outdoors.
Stop & Shop: Stop the Madness!!
KarenandCory Says: Arlington has the advantage of having many nice little stores to shop in. Stop & Shop is the biggest and most convenient supermarket. Although the town won't allow a Super store for some reason, Stop & Shop still has just about everything you need. Here's one thing you may...

Ahh, the life of a Townie...
Town Day takes place every year in September . Town Day takes place on Massachusetts Ave. from Pleasant Street to Mill Street. There are food vendors, informatin booths, crafts, bake sales, education booths, local stores, banks, etc.
Really fun as a kid until you realize how lame it is. You stop going for some years before curiosity gets the better of you and you go check it out. Becomes interesting again when you are old enough to be interested in carrying around pamphlets and free magnets.
At Town Day 2005, I was amused at the dunking booth sponsered by Stratton School PTO. The arrest your friend thing has been going on forever... nice to see the Arlington cops get theirs! A donuts revenge, get it? Dunking booth... Dunkin' Donuts...., cops eat donuts...
Oh, never mind. Quit spraying shaving cream in your eyes and be serious.
Town Day is fun and educational for all! (yeah)
Bring the whole family! (right on)
Hours of fun!! (okay, that's pushing it just a little.)

Mount Auburn Cemetery is gorgeous. I feel totally at peace walking around here!
Established in 1831 by Dr. Jacob Bigelow, whose intent was to create the first garden cemetery in the United States, this became the archetype for suburban garden cemeteries throughout the U. S. Interred in the cemetery are such renowned figures as Charles Bulfinch, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., Winslow Homer, Dorthea Dix, Margaret Fuller, Isabella Stewart Gardner, and Mary Baker Eddy. A Guide to the Cemetery is available.

An 11 mile path from Alewife MBTA station in Cambridge to Depot Park/South Street, Bedford.
Good for bicycling, walking, jogging, in-line skating. Although there's a constant battle between bicyclists and walkers, a lame suburban turf war. I've been altered from the path by aggressive bikers several times.
This picture was taken in Arlington Center, next to the Uncle Sam memorial.
The bikeway is managed and maintained by the four communities it passes through: Bedford, Lexington, Arlington, and Cambridge.

Totally UN-Friendly Neighborhood
KarenandCory Says: This was the site of Friendly's in Arlington. In June 2004 there was a hepatitis A scare here. One of the staff found out they had hepatitis A and the town went nuts. Everybody who ate at Friendly's around that time was asked to go to Symmes Hospital to get a shot in the...
