What is it like living in Wellesley, MA?

Q: Is there anything for a single man age 43 to do? Night life or casual bars? What about restaurants, parks and supermarkets?

A: Make sure you can raise your pinky finger. All jokes aside, it would be consider one of America's most affluent neighborhoods. Unlike the trendy Rodeo Dr., this is the old money which hides behind giant mansions and the sort. Other than Ming Tsai's Blue Ginger and Alta Strada, there's a few smaller restaurants which wouldn't rank highly on Boston's high tastes list, although decent. For being one of the smaller neighborhoods, it has three railroad stations, so connectivity back to Boston is excellent. The land is somewhat hilly, but a favorite for most MetroWest runners, there's tons to see along 135 and 16. The area is quite picturesque from afar; again the neighbors wouldn't want you in their yards. There is a decent supermarket in the town center, Roche Bros. There are no "bars" in Wellesley, although it's not a "dry" town like other neighborhoods. Wellesley could be best described as "old money" meets "Americana." Like something out of a Ralph Lauren ad, most people do ice skate with $400 khakis on. Remember to cluck your tongue after saying Wellesley for the proper pronounciation. Have Fun!
