Frequently asked

What are good weekend date ideas?

Use the extra time for something bigger: a coin-flip road trip, a day trip for breakfast, a class you've never tried, or a proper hike. Weekends reward the ideas weeknights can't fit.

What's a spontaneous weekend date?

A map-pin dart or the next-train-out both hand the day over to chance — the surprise is the point. More adventurous date ideas.
