The Top 10 Date Night Ideas for Couples in New York City

August 4, 2017

Get off the couch and go on a date with your spouse!

The job, the kids, the housework, the mortgage. No wonder we can only muster up enough energy to throw on sweatpants and turn to Netflix when it comes to a little quality time with our significant other.

Remember the days when you and your spouse were dating? Back then, you actually spent time deciding what to wear before going out on dates. Yes, dates, remember those? It’s kind of unfair that now that we’ve grown up, we’ve outgrown date nights!

These days, date nights for married couples are about as common as unicorn sightings, but we're about to change all of that. We pulled together a list of 10 out-of-the-box ideas to help you get you out of those sweatpants, off the couch, and back in the date night game. All you need to do is lock down your regular nanny or babysitter so you and your partner can paint the town red!
