Best taste of the Middle East (without actually having to go there)
Almost incongruous in Irish and Yankee Boston is the pocket of the Middle Eastern world that exists in
Watertown, home to America's third-largest Armenian community. Walk through the Coolidge Square area along
Mt. Auburn Street, and you'll find yourself amid a host of Armenian, Greek, and Middle Eastern food
opportunities. Sevan's Bakery offers quantities of hummus, baba ghanoosh, and feta and kasseri cheese that
you can take home and eat on fresh pita bread. Also available are spinach, meat, and cheese pies. Massis
Bakery provides a similar array of food with its own baked lahmajoon. Both places boast an olive bar with a
copious array of choices.
Sevan's Bakery, 598 Mt. Auburn Street, Watertown, (617) 924-3243; Massis Bakery, 569 Mt. Auburn Street, Watertown, (617) 924-0537.
