Hey Bagels!

We’re still celebrating Throwback Week! So far we’ve covered LA, San Francisco and NYC. Now we’re in Boston searching for spots where your parents, and maybe even your grandparents, used to go out on dates. We managed to find 3 creative date ideas that will definitely create some memories.

Mendon Twin Drive-In: Want to watch the newest movies, but don’t want to deal with the large crowds at the theaters? Well drive on over to the Mendon Drive-In for that old-school-drive-in-movie feel. Although there are only two screens at this theater, each night there is a double feature for each screen. This place is open 7 days a week through Labor Day so be sure to check it out before they close for winter!

The Mendon Twin Drive-In is still a popular spot to catch a double feature

 

Toscanini’s Ice Cream: This creamery may not have that vintage feel, but going out for ice cream is always a classic date. While they usually have about 40 flavors in regular rotation, Toscanini’s has a whopping 60 core flavors; not including the hundreds of other flavors they have made over the years. Patrons can also purchase 3 gallons of their favorite flavor!

Why settle for 31 flavors when you can try 40 that are homemade?


Underground Hip Hop dot com (UGHH): If you’re looking for some old hip-hop or rap vinyl to add to your collection this is the place to be. From Jay-Z’s newest album to some of the Notorious B.I.G.’s early work, this store has it all and more. So grab your turntables and headphones and get ready for a great time.

1) Phantom Gourmet Beach BBQ Party– Come out for a day of ribs, brisket, sausage, and more! This event attracts barbeque teams from Texas to Australia. It may not be the best first date, but it’s definitely a perfect date for foodies.

Hey Bagels,
Time for another post on fun summer date ideas! This summer date idea is Bye Bye Liver, a satirical sketch comedy performance on young drinking culture.
We love it because the audience gets to be involved in the play and the cast is so hilarious you will not stop laughing!

Boston- 25 Union St @ Hennessey’s 
Chicago– 3914 North Clark St @ The Public House Theatre
WHEN:  
Boston- Every Friday 8pm
Chicago– Every Friday & Saturday at 8 & 10 pm
3 Reasons to Check it Out

  1. Drinking Games with the cast- this play gets the audience involved by interspersing drinking games into the show! Play Never Have I Ever or Would You Rather right along with the cast.
  2. Comedy- nothing like laughing together to break the ice with someone new. Laugh a little or a lot at their clever sketches on those annoying people we’ve all seen at the bar.
  3. Cool Venues- Both locations have great vibes & drink deals!

You can buy tickets on the Bye Bye Liver website for $20 a piece- not too shabby for a great night full of drinking and comedy!

This play is a perfect 75 minute ice breaker. Both venues put shows on every weekend so you Bagels have plenty of opportunities to check out this play with whichever Bagel you choose!
