Fun Date Ideas

IF YOU’RE FEELING FUN!
1. MARIGNY BRASSERIE
Located right at the corner of Royal Street and Frenchmen, Marigny is some nice digs without the stuffiness of a formal atmosphere. They have outdoor seating if you want to see all the people on Frenchmen street or listen to the music. There couches for relaxing, white tablecloths, glassware and there’s always a great band playing. The food is a little pricier but definitely a great date spot. And afterwards, you can walk through the Frenchmen spots and get your dance on!
2.FULTON ALLEY

Considered “boutique bowling” Fulton Alley is where you can have a some good old fashion fun but still feel classy about it. With lovely chandeliers, a fully stocked bar, plus craft beers and yummy food, any date here would be fun. After you let the other win, you can stroll through the Alley or head to the Quarter, the night is yours!

3. OGDEN AFTER HOURS
I actually just found out about this recently and I’m so bummed that I didn’t know sooner. At the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, every Thursday evening from 6-8, there is free live music inside the museum for only $10! That’s so wonderful. You can enjoy the beautiful art and music before heading to dinner or just as a first date, this one will impress your more intellectual dates.
4. THE JEAN LAFITTE NATURE WALK

Sick of the usual bar and restaurant scene? Try a nature walk! You can go through the City Park nature trail or you could go through the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve. They have amazing trails, hiking, canoeing, and tours. Bring a nice picnic and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Go at dusk and you see the fireflies lighting up the night air. Two warnings: bring bug spray and be sure to tell your date to dress appropriately.
