About us
Hello! This is a group for people in their 30s and 40s in and around Arlington (Somerville, Medford, Waltham, Burlington, Woburn, etc.) who are interested in making new social connections!
We would love to meet you at one of our events! The group relies on members to suggest and organize events*, some of which have included dinners, hikes, game nights, book clubs, concerts, and more. If you have an idea for a Meetup, please message the organizers!
*We really appreciate members who open up their home to host events and want folks to feel comfortable doing so. Hence, we ask new members to attend one of our public events prior to RSVP-ing to events held at a private residence.
Attendance policy: Plans change, stuff happens. We definitely understand, so please let the host/organizer know by updating your RSVP. On the other hand, no-shows are inconsiderate and disrespectful to the host/organizer, as well as other attendees. Repeated no-shows may result in removal from future events and from the group itself.
The Arlington 30-and 40- somethings Meetup group is committed to cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity and inclusion. That each member should feel safe and respected at each event is of utmost value to us. If any of our members have an experience at one of our events that does not align with this policy, we encourage you to bring it to the attention of the Leadership team so that it may be addressed it in a timely manner.
----------
The continued running of this Meetup group is made possible by the generous contributions from fellow members. If you enjoy our events and would like to support us, please contact a member of the Leadership team. All member contributions go towards paying the Meetup fees for running the group (approx $400+ tax per year). Thank you!
Featured event
Arlington 30/40's Bowls at Sacco's in Davis
As the weather is cold, I thought it might be fun to meet up at Sacco's to play candle-pin bowling (and grab some great pizza if you're interested).
Since I need to make a reservation, please only RSVP if you can make it. It's very difficult if we have no-shows, especially because the price would go up per-person. If you've no-show'd in the past, please join us at another event before RSVPing to a reserved-event.
I've reserved 2 lanes for 12 people. Bowling is $78 per lane, and will cost $13 per-person, shoes $4, plus whatever food/drink you purchase. You can pay me for the lane in-person. The lane's are full-service (Food/drink) for us to enjoy while there.
Join us, get to know some of your community, and have fun while doing it!
Let me know if you have any questions.
Getting There
Davis square is right along the red line T, and is also serviced by the 77 bus that goes between Arlington and Harvard.
In addition to metered street parking on Mass Ave and Holland St., there are two main paid lots: Buena Vista Lot and the lot off Day St. Off-peak, you can usually find availability in one of these areas.
Another option is to park at the garage at Alewife (which has plentiful parking), and take the red line train 1 stop inbound and get off at Davis Square station. Make sure to budget time for this option.
If you’re coming from Arlington, and are interested in biking in the nicer weather, let me know! The minuteman bike trail goes straight to the square.

Frostival Winter Festival
Copley Square, Boston, MA, USLet's check out Boston's Frostival winter festival! We can visit the Frostival Lodge to hang out on the cozy furniture, order seasonal food and drinks, listen to some live jazz music, and play jenga and cornhole. Afterward, for those interested, we can head to the Greenway to ride the Frostival Ferris Wheel.
We will first meet at the Lodge in Copley Square, which you can get to via public transit. If driving, you can park in a garage or look for street parking (free on Sundays).
The Lodge is free to visit and the Ferris Wheel costs $4 a ride. We will likely take the T to get from the Lodge to the Ferris Wheel (you can use a debit/credit card or Charlie card to pay for the T ride).

Official Frostival Lodge Description:
Winter in Boston just got a whole lot cozier! The Frostival Lodge furnished by Wayfair is a warm winter escape in the heart of Copley Square. Think Scandinavian landscape, château in the Italian Alps, and cozy alpine lodge in Quebec—all coming together in Boston’s Back Bay.
Settle into cozy (and shoppable!) Wayfair furnishings, enjoy winter–wonderland–worthy food and drinks from Eataly, catch all the latest action in Milan/Cortina thanks to NBC Boston, and gather for a full lineup of festive events, including Winter Games-themed programming and curling. With six fully furnished living rooms, glass-enclosed firepits flickering next to classic Adirondack chairs, and a bar, the Frostival Lodge is the place to linger and warm up this winter.Official Ferris Wheel description:
This February, the Rose Kennedy Greenway becomes the ultimate winter hot spot with a towering Ferris Wheel offering sweeping skyline views. Picture yourself above the city lights and Boston’s iconic landmarks as your backdrop!
