subject: Planning the Perfect Date Night in Houston [print this page] Sweaty palms, nervous stomach and they haven't even answered the door yet! First dates can be super stressful, sometimes they can even be worse than a job interview. Lucky for you, Houston has some of the best first date sites for whatever you and your date are into. From romantic dinners to a sporting event, Houston offers a little bit of everything.
Here are a few spots that can help seal the deal for date #2!
Keep it Sporty
Houston is home to world class athletes and championship teams such as the Astros, Oilers, Texans and Rockets so no matter the season, there's someone to cheer for. Whether you're planning an afternoon date at Minute Maid Park or an evening at the Toyota Center, Houston's sports program guarantees a fun time. Just keep your eye on your date, not the ball the whole time!
Foodie Finds
Houston's culinary scene has exploded in the past few years introducing new flavors and ethnic foods to the city. From Italian to Mediterranean, there's a place for every palate. Many of Houston's most talked about restaurants are located downtown and provide the perfect ambiance for a casual or romantic first date, but don't forget to plan ahead and make reservations!
Give Your Date Something to Buzz About
Houston's Saint Arnold's Brewery is the oldest craft brewery in the state and a great place for a first date. With tours open to the public six days a week which include samples and a souvenir tasting glass, this is a unique way to ease some of those first date jitters. The tours are an open house format, so be sure to get there at least 15 to 20 minutes beforehand, and make sure one of you is the designated driver, or just take a cab.
Get Cultured
From contemporary to fine art, Houston is home to some of the best museums in Texas. Impress your date with your expansive knowledge of Picasso and Matisse at the Museum of Fine Art or take in an IMAX film at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Finish off your date with a picnic in Hermann Park.
Keep it One-on-One
There's something to be said for a romantic meal for two and a movie. Rather than running around the city, why not invite your date to your house, condo or apartment for a home cooked meal? Not only with they be impressed with your cooking skills, they'll be flattered that you made the effort to do it yourself!
So there you have it; five fool proof dates that highlight the best of what Houston has to offer. But remember; always have a plan B, and no matter how amazing the date is, it's the company that counts the most!
Located on Hermann Park, Mosaic is a luxury, two tower condominium and apartment community that combines the convenience of city living with lavish five star amenities.
