Goodbye, Champagne – Hello, Wine!
We’ll admit that we love toasting champagne to newfound love. But if that doesn’t seem like your style, why not channel your inner Van Gogh at your local Sip and Paint? Wine, paint, and artistic renderings of a sunset? Sign us up! Check out this list of Sip and Paint locations throughout NH.
Bring Out Your Inner Child
Skip the fancy dinner and go for a night of fun instead with these options:
- Go to an Arcade! Arcades aren’t just for kids – and some places like Dave and Busters cater to adults with plenty of food and alcoholic beverage selections.
- Take a trip down memory lane and watch a Drive-In Movie! Drive-In movies have made a comeback. Here’s a list of local drive-in movie theaters to check out!
- Get serious with a game of Laser Tag! The last person standing has to treat the other to their favorite dessert. Here’s a list of local laser tag centers in NH.
The “Dinner Date”
Of course, nothing says “first date” quite like eating out (and it’s a great excuse to dress up and not wash dishes). However, if you’re interested in getting to know each other in a relaxed and budget-friendly way, plan for a night of dining in! Ordering food is always an easy way to enjoy a first date, but for a fun twist, try these dining options:
- Plan a picnic! Packing a picnic can be a romantic and relaxing option in warmer weather. Check out a variety of parks and outdoor pavilions in NH and start packing!
- Are you both into cooking? Make it a competition! See who can make the best dinner- the winner chooses the next date’s entrée!
