The community's ethnic diversity and its large undergrad population (courtesy of Bentley and Brandeis universities) have helped transform the city into a thriving cultural hub. The city boasts the Waltham Symphony Orchestra and the Waltham Philharmonic Orchestra, (857) 919-1385. Arts organizations include the Waltham Mills Artists Association, housed in a former Boston Manufacturing Co. factory on Moody Street. More than 80 artists open their studios to the public the first weekend in November. Known as “Restaurant Row,” Moody Street also boasts an eclectic mix of eateries with fare ranging from Italian to Indian.
