Summer Dates: The Restaurant Crawl

You know there's a difference between just "grabbing a bite" and really going out to dinner, but what do you do when even that gets a little old?

Our friends at cosmopolitan.com suggest a restaurant crawl. And it doesn't have to be the gang affair of say, the St. Patrick's Day pub crawl. This one's just the two of you.

For example, start with some drinks and appys at (we hear the black bean nachos are fabulous).

Done there? Head to for your main course. Geez, it's been an age since we've been there.

End the evening with coffee and dessert at . Anything Chocolate will do just fine, thanks.

The concept also naturally inserts some time between courses, so maybe you don't get so full so fast. But be sure to pick places somewhat close to each other.

In fact, you could ditch the car somewhat if you crawl through some of the restaurants a say, or other destination that features a cluster of eateries.
