A walk on the beach
A. A trendy restaurant and a local band.
Any particular restaurant?
Definately…dinner and dessert at The Melting Pot
Dinner at a trendy restaurant followed by a walk on the beach.
The good healthy food at Mykonos, followed by a walk on the beach to watch the sunset and talk about all the little nothings in life that are important. Smiles
NASCAR Speedpark is an awesome place for a first date! A little friendly competition!
That’s thinking outside the box, Shauna!
I think going to dinner at a local restaurant, like Farlos Burrito Bar and then walking across the street to go to the Sky Wheel would be a perfect first date!
ALL OF The choices all in one long romantic day
Dinner at 2nd Avenue Pier. Intimate setting with a gorgeous view!
I think the best thing to do for a first date would be the following: Start out with a walk on the beach with a bottle of champagne. After that, a good authentic Italian dinner at Benny Rappa’s in NMB. Then take a ride downtown and finish the date off with a kiss on The Skywheel! Now that is romantic and fabulous!
OOOOW.LA.LA….<3….Janine….
When I was out there, I found the folowing to be a wonderful place for a first date; Meet at 30 minutes before sundown at the beach outside Coconuts. Talk to the waitress before hand to make sure they can bring your diner to the beach (they will). Set up a very small table with a chilled bottle of wine and two glasses. Ask your date what she or he, would like and order it from the bar. As you enjoy whatever delicasy they bring you, (my personal is their sliders) watch the sunset and discuss with your date the likes and dislikes you share. After sunset, kick back, enjoy the nightitme waves and moon on the ocean and see if a second date is possible. Worked for me
OOOH, he put some thought in this and it worked!
Nice romantic dinner on the beach
My dream date would be dinner at Ruth Kris Steak House and then to Rossi’s for a nite cap and some slow dancing! Yes, I sure do have good taste! LOL Justine Simone
You sure do!
I think first a great walk on the beach with your favorite coffee, then out to breakfast in Litchfield then out kayaking in the Inlet followed by a picnic on the beach with Wine , cheese and baguette. Top it off at the end of the day with a nice dinner out on a sunset cruise !!
