12 Boston-Area Restaurants for Unconventional, Messy First Dates

"Widely regarded as one of the prime locations for procuring Xi’an hand-pulled noodles in the Boston area, Gene’s is also extra garlicky, ensuring a double whammy of indelicacy for any first date. Plus, it’s a very small, very casual spot, and it’s cash only. Afterward, stroll through nearby Chinatown to window-shop for dessert options at bakeries and bubble tea shops." - Dana Hatic
