My wife and I have frequently gone dining and/or dancing in Malden, and saw it en route. I have a new colleague at work and I learned he had previously lived in Malden. When I told him we went there on almost every Saturday night, he replied,
"Nobody goes to Malden." 
Back in 2014, I posted to this thread:Unfortunately, the joint closed in 2017, but three of our favorite restaurants are still in Malden.

Conveniently enough, Charles Ro is located on the Northern Strand Community Trail, a.k.a. Bike To The Sea. So you can ride your bike to catch a (model) train.
