The 20/30-Something Guide to Planning the Perfect Date Night

Via Carota: 51 Grove Street

American Bar: 33 Greenwich Avenue

Dante: 551 Hudson Street and 79-81 Macdougal Street

We love picking a fun neighborhood, like the West Village, to explore and have dinner. It feels like a true destination since it's away from where we both live. A few of our favorite restaurants in this area are Via Carota, American Bar, and Dante–they're all are super romantic for a date night!

Antonucci Cafe: 170 East 81st Street

For an uptown date, we love Antonucci. It's a lowkey restaurant with amazing Italian food and very good drinks. It is a perfect romantic spot!

Go Bowling: This is a new fun date we started doing–we go to Bowlero in Queens. Bowling is such a fun, easy activity to do for a date. We also started bringing another couple so it's a double date, which makes it even more fun. Team up the couples and whoever wins has to host you for dinner!

Plan a Quick Trip: For a really adventurous date, take a trip to Connecticut for the day to see Philip Johnson's The Glass House. After your tour, spend some time exploring the charming town of New Canaan.

Experience an At-Home Wine Class: We love at-home wine pairing experiences! Airbnb offers well-done online experiences including wine classes and pairings with a sommelier.

Five Senses also offers what they call "full-sensory experiences” which includes pairing music, wine, cheese, and chocolate together! We are big winos, so this is a great opportunity to learn more about wine together and try new ones.

Divide and Conquer Your Menu: My husband is an incredible cook and I’m better at baking. When we do an at-home date night, I choose the main dish (that he cooks) and he chooses what’s for dessert (that I bake!).

Another idea if you’re married: one of our favorite at-home date night things to do is to watch our wedding video, which we do at least every other month! It’s fun to look back on these amazing memories and the best weekend of our lives.
