Improv Boston!

fridays at the children's museum from 5-9pm only costs $1... it's a lot of fun and cheap...

aquarium is always rather cool.

ditto on the aquarium idea!

how fun is your date? going on a saturday afternoon to wander in the public gardens, ride the swan boats, and then have dinner in boston makes a NICE date.

a couple of bottles of Mad Dog, some fireworks, and heading down to Chinatown to score some crack and check out all the crack hos.

That is so hot!

I know. I can't stand myself... {narf}

How about painting pottery at Made By Me near Porter Square?

Get drunk and fornicate.

[slavetomrcoffee.livejournal.com]

ha. thats the best idea yet!

[crypticusername.livejournal.com]

And the simplest.

Coincidence? I think not.

[sonofabish.livejournal.com]

awww. I thought fornicate was implied in my suggestion. Guess I'm not as obvious as I thought...

and such a classic!

My two best friends had a very successful first date at the Public Gardens (though they didn't have dinner in Boston -- we all had it later at John Harvard's), so I agree with bluepapercup. I third the aquarium idea, too.

Depending on your interests, the MIT Museum (http://web.mit.edu/museum/) is pretty cool -- even if you don't care about the robots, they have some genuinely cool holograms and mechanical sculptures that you don't have to be a geek to appreciate. It's also very cheap for students. Then you could eat at the Miracle of Science.

I recently dropped into Antonia's, the little Italian restaurant next to JP Licks in the square. I'd never even noticed it before. I'd have to heartily recommend it for a date, whether it be the 1st or the 101st.

Nice atmosphere, fantastic food, friendly staff, and reasonable prices. We'll be going back soon, I bet.

For the classic dinner and a movie...
I had a very nice time at Ten Tables in JP. It is super cozey, albeit far away.
Other datey restaurants I can recommend are Dali's (super sensuous), The Enourmous room (which everyone agrees is good for a third date, cause it's a little forward, what with the pillows on the floor), and Central Kitchen (which has an excellent wine list at bargain prices. only a few dollars up from retail.)
But being the big dork that I am, I appreciate films at the HFA, the Brattle, or the Coolidge. (godzilla, samuri, blacksploitation, Japanese from the 40s...)
But the best date I ever went on was to a taping of Wheel of Fortune in DC.

[slavetomrcoffee.livejournal.com]

oo excellent ideas! (i'm somewhat of a film geek too)

[georgehitler.livejournal.com]

Sweet! Have fun!

De Cordova is really neat, if

a. weather is nice
b. it's easy for you to get out there and
c. if you're into artsyfartsy stuff

it's free to walk around outside.

de cordova

[allli.livejournal.com]

actually, i just visited de cordova today and found out they just started charging admission to the park and museum as a whole last week. you drive up and there's a new building (as modern/deco as many of the sculptures) and you pay the $6 museum price to get you into the park and museum as a whole. i'm wondering if someone just walking up the driveway would have to pay. the cars are pretty much forced to.

still an awesome place though.

Re: de cordova

[yangelina.livejournal.com]

oh wow. that's a bummer. i'm sure i'll still go, but what a bummer.
i'll get to see the inside of the museum, finally. :) i may try walking up/biking up, and see if they still charge the fee.
thanks for the update!

sherman cafe in union sq... cute laid back, decent first date material for afternoon chatting and the possibility of hanging out more and going somewhere else in the evening...
burdick's in harvard sq. decadent choc., decent coffee
