Why settle for pedestrian dates like dinner and a movie? When you live in an exciting city like New York, the world is your oyster! In the spirit of not settling, we’ve prepared a list of awesome dates to make your sweetie smile!
Nutcracker Rouge
Many of us grew up seeing The Nutcracker performed live on stage at the holidays. Tchaikovsky’s classic ballet is a seasonal staple; however, Company XIV have decided to put their own “adult”spin on the story. Head out to Bushwick’s Théâtre XIV to witness a sexy, burlesque take that brings new meaning to the title “The Nutcracker!” As an added bonus, the dance space is Baroque and beautiful, and there’s a very naughty cocktail menu. Nutcracker Rouge is running now through January. This is the perfect third date for theatre lovers, if you catch our drift…
