When searching for date ideas, you first want to take into consideration your location. If you live in a city such as New York, Atlanta or even Chicago there are a few things you can do to enjoy the city during the holidays.
Dinner And A Stroll Through The City- A great idea for date night is to have dinner and then walk through the city to see all the lights. This is the time of year that many stores have holiday decorations up and the city decorates public areas with lights and decorations. Walking through to see all that the holidays have to offer and taking pictures to save memories is a great way to end date night.
Go Ice Skating- This is a fun date idea to do during the day or at night. You and your partner could take a trip to Bryant Park (New York) and skate under the city lights all while enjoying festive holiday music. Ice skating is also available in Glover Park (Atlanta) and Millenium Park (Chicago).
Go See A Show- This is the perfect time of year to go see a holiday play. Watching the Rockettes on Broadway or seeing the Nutcracker live in action are great ways to spend some time with your partner. Once the show is over, catch a nice dinner or make the trip to a small cafe to unwind and talk about your favorite parts of the play.
