Next Door Adventures: Your Guide to Fun Around the Corner in East Arlington, MA
Sometimes, the best day trip is right in your own backyard. In the Boston-area, the next adventure is often just the next town over, offering you VIP access to all the best cities and towns around! This month, the 4Squares Team is heading to East Arlington's Capitol Square, where there's always something to enjoy and eat and somewhere to play and meet.
Enjoy Date Night at the Movies
Modern cinemas like Loews, with their recliners and surround sound, are great, but have you ever experienced the vintage charm of Capitol Theater in East Arlington? With its classic marquee, ornate decor, and cozy atmosphere, the Capitol Theater offers a unique cinematic experience unlike modern multiplexes. Sip a frozen Coke and munch on the most delectable popcorn for miles, or indulge in an ice cream sundae from Capitol Creamery, the theater’s in-house ice cream shop featuring Richardson’s Ice cream.
The theater features a mix of first-run films, indie flicks, and special screenings, all enjoyed from comfortable seats in an intimate setting. It's the perfect spot for movie lovers who appreciate a touch of nostalgia and a welcoming community vibe. Take advantage of Throwback Thursdays, where you can catch classic movies and travel down memory lane. For a unique experience, check out Disasterpiece Theatre on the last Monday of each month—a hilarious Z-movie night where folks gather to riff on the worst films ever found on VHS, Mystery Science Theatre 3000 style.
Once you’ve enjoyed a film at the Capitol Theatre, you’ll want to return time and time again. With their new Membership Program, you can! Enjoy discounts and exclusive perks while supporting the beautiful theatre.
Eat Amazing Greek Food
The 4Squares Team never skips a meal, and when we're in the mood for Greek cuisine, The Fat Greek is our go-to destination!
At The Fat Greek, you can savor the deliciousness of the famous Gyro (pronounced YEE-ro), an ancient Greek street food that translates to "spin" or "turn." As they say at The Fat Greek, the Greeks are the original fast-food innovators!
The yumminess doesn’t stop there. Savor one of their rice bowls, served with falafel, bifteki (Greek beef patty), lamb, or pork. Be sure to explore their vegetarian menu, which includes beloved classics like spanakopita (spinach pie) and dolmas (stuffed grape leaves), along with a veggie skewer plate fit for royalty. For a unique twist, try their signature Greek fries topped with fresh feta cheese, or savor the Gyro fries—an inventive take on the classic Gyro sandwich served over a bed of hot, crispy, salty fries.
Of course, no Greek meal is complete without baklava, the quintessential Greek sweet treat. Swing in next door to Arlington Bakery for a slice (or two!). While you’re there, stock up on Greek pantry essentials at Meli Marketplace, located in the bakery. You’ll find creamy tzatziki, savory olives, and crispy pita crackers ready and waiting; the only thing missing is you!
