Top 5…Date Night Ideas!

Share this post:

With so much to experience in my own backyard here in the Greater Merrimack Valley, I’ve made a deal with myself that each weekend my boyfriend and I unplug from technology and try something new. We’ve been able to see, learn and try things that we may never have otherwise had the opportunity to as well as connect with eachother after a long week of work.  Here’s my top 5 date night ideas, and a few insider tips! 

For the foodie couple..
Feng Shui Hibachi Sushi Lounge
285 Chelmsford St, Chelmsford, MA 01824
Going to dinner just got a lot more exciting! Feng Shui Hibachi Sushi Lounge offers its diners bar seating, sit-down table service or seating at a hibachi grill. If you’ve never experienced hibachi style cooking, I highly recommend it! Each hibachi entrée is served with miso soup, salad, hibachi shrimp and vegetables, white rice and your choice of poultry, seafood or tofu. Your chef prepares your dishes in front of you, while entertaining the guests with “volcano” onions, expert egg juggling and some jokes. The flames, fresh food and fun make for a great night out. With each hibachi grill seating 18 guests, this makes for a fun group date night or birthday party idea. Looking for an appetizer suggestion while waiting for your hibachi? My personal favorite is the Red Sox Roll…if you’re a sushi fan you have to try it out! For reservations call 978-250-8888

For the movie lovers couple..
Showcase Cinema De Lux
32 Reiss Ave, Lowell, MA 01851
The newly renovated Showcase Cinema De Lux in Lowell offers guests plush, reclining seats, a full bar to order a cocktail pre-show and take to your seat, as well as a full concession stand. Committed to providing the ultimate entertainment experience, each theater offers state of the art sound, assistance devices for the hearing and sight impaired, full handicapped accessibility and great programs for the whole family. With the ability to purchase tickets and select your seats all online, going to see a move just got a whole lot easier (and comfy!). My insider tip if your a frequent flyer to the movies? Join Star Pass and earn points for every dollar spent, free popcorn on your birthday and avoid paying service charges when buying tickets online! 

For the kids at heart couple…
Dave & Buster’s 
271 Mishawum Road, Woburn, MA 01801
What could be better than state of the art gaming area, a bar and restaurant all in one? Let your inner-child come out at Dave & Buster’s! The true one stop shop for those gamers out there, you can watch the game or catch up over a cocktail, or enjoy a little friendly competition while playing
air-hockey or skee ball. Visit after work on Monday-Friday from 4:30pm-7:00pm or Late Night Sunday-Thursday from 9:00pm-Midnight for “Appy Hour” where you’ll score $5.00 select appetizers.
