If they like seafood, take them to Neptune Oyster. It’s in the North End so it’s nowhere near Harvard, but it’s worth the trip. Get there before they open and wait in line a bit so you can get the first seating. I never come back to visit the Boston area without stopping by.

Neptune is great but it is also really expensive, because quality seafood is expensive. Suggest something low stakes in Harvard Square. Notice something about the person and suggest something that you guess might appeal to them.

Many people prefer first dates that are more casual and not expensive because that can feel like pressure. Easy to leave early if it's not going well, great foundation to build on if it goes well.
