There have been date nights, I'm sure, in the past two months, but I haven't been very good about tracking them. For the past two weekends, though, we've had nights that definitely qualify. Last weekend, we did an actually novel thing for us - go out in our neighborhood. We so often go out to see friends on their turf, knowing that it's not always so easy to get them to come to us. When we stay home, we really stay home.
So, on the night before Halloween, we opted out of everything but Brooklyn. And it totally paid off. We tried a restaurant that I had been to, but that was right up A's alley and found a fun relaxed neighborhood bar with NFL season ticket (clearly more of a plus for A than me, but it means we'll leave the house on Sundays now too).
Then, last night, I was whisked away after work into the world of the Malaysian Street Food Fair in Grand Central. Laut, among many other restaurants, were there to give Manhattanites a taste of Malaysian food. We had a fabulous cupcake (Malaysian Coconut and Toasted Almond) that may have been the best ever.
The date night ended up with him heading out to see the boys and with me heading home to the dog and the NaNoWriMo project (update coming!), but it was fun to share the experience together. A date doesn't have to be a big dramatic evening (or even out of the house), and this was a fun way to spend some time at the end of a busy week.
