By night Restaurants If you choose one of the more casual restaurants, a delightful Arlington evening can be made of dinner and a movie. In early morning, Arlington seems like a small town - folks gather in one of the many doughnut shops, or in one of the four diners, each strategically located, and with its own cast of characters. By late morning, the shops are buzzing, and on weekends, parks and bikeways hum. Arlington's stores are clustered at three points along Massachusetts Avenue. Several cross streets also beckon, notably Medford Street, home of the Bombay Cinema.
Next door is a Mongolian restaurant.
Across the street, a venerable doughnut shop. East Arlington Shoppers make tracks to East Arlington. On the subject of bakeries, Arlington has an unusually fine supply. Old Schwamb Mill You can enter the 19th century by driving to some restored village, or you can swerve onto Lowell Street off Mass. Ave. in Arlington Heights near the Dunkin Donuts and mosey down Mill Lane, site of Old Schwamb Mill. This is one green town, with almost a dozen parks, ball fields, pondside paths, and huge municipal lawns like the luscious greensward in front of the high school.
