Boston: Short Day Trip Date to Newport

/in , /by

Founded in 1630 by wayward Puritan colonists from England, Boston is one of the oldest cities in America.  So it’s had a lot of time to establish itself as a world-class city and New England’s epicenter of gastronomy – in other words: plenty of date options.

However, what do you do when you run out of date ideas?  Fact is, our Boston members are comprised of refined tastemakers who are “in the know.”  They are fully aware that the Tip Tap Room has nothing to do with tap dancing.  They do not consider chillin’ with colonially-clad women at Paul Revere’s crib as conducive to romantic dates. They are busy professionals who are tired of waiting in line to get to the roofdeck of Legal Harborside (btw, ask for the Boston Strong Boy or The Purple Jesus if you are patient enough to wait – they’re life changing).

So back to the question: what do you do? 

Here is the first installment of date inspirations for day trips to get you away from the city but close enough to have you back home in time for Olympics Women’s Trampoline.

Where: Newport, RI (Goat Island)

Distance: 71 miles, 1 hour 19 minutes

Accommodations (if necessary): Hyatt Regency Newport on Goat Island – unfortunately no goats (we looked…seriously)

Eats: order a draft Newport Storm to wash down the $1 Oysters at Celtica Public House.  Also, it’s totally worth spending the night just for the crab benedict breakfast from Black Pearl’s waterside patio.

Must See: (1) visit a local vineyard (2) pull $ from your own Mansion Fund to tour the Famous Newport Mansions (3) absolutely skip (1) & (2) if you can’t make it back to Goat Island before sunset.  It’s not worth running the risk of missing the most romantic moment of the trip…watching the sunset over Narragansett Bay. It’s truly breathtaking. @coffeembagel Instagram pics below:

CMB Tip: View the sunset from Pineapples on the Bay, but if the one-man-band’s covers of 90’s alternative classics become too intense, take a short stroll over to the historical Newport Harbor Lighthouse.

New York: Bastille Day on 60th Street

/in , , /by

“Café rencontre Bagel Croissant” – Google Translate to the rescue.  Visit the 10th annual Bastille Day on 60th Street for a full French cultural immersion with your Bagel Croissant.  Also, while you’re there, try your luck with FIAF/French Institute Alliance Française’s Bastille Day le Twitter Challenge and the next date with your bagel may be in Paris.

WHAT: Bastille Day on 60th Street – French-themed market stalls, food, live music, workshops, wine and cheese tastings.

WHEN: Sunday, July 15, 2012 from 12-5pm

WHERE: 60th Street between Fifth and Lexington Avenues

New York: Last Minute Astrologically Romantic Plan

/in , /by

Do you have a date tonight? Does your bagel list “spontaneity” and “trying something new” on their profile?  Then this Date Inspiration should get you bean points (we don’t do brownies) from your date.  Just don’t gaze too long at the sun.

WHAT: Manhattanhenge – the setting Sun aligns precisely with the Manhattan street grid, creating a radiant glow of light across Manhattan’s brick and steel canyons, simultaneously illuminating both the north and south sides of every cross street of the borough’s grid.
WHERE: As far east in Manhattan as possible. But ensure that when you look west across the avenues you can still see New Jersey. Clear cross streets include 14th, 23rd, 34th, 42nd, 57th, and several streets adjacent to them. The Empire State building and the Chrysler building render 34th street and 42nd streets especially striking vistas. 

WHEN: Tonight, Wednesday, July 11 — 8:24 P.M. EDT (Full Sun) / Thursday, July 12th, — 8:25 P.M. EDT (Half Sun)
