Three Romantic Date Ideas in New Prague, Minnesota
1.} Have a picnic in the park. I know this sounds clichÃ?© but there is something about spreading a blanket on the ground and sharing a basket of wine, breads and cheeses. It’s the combination of such a simple setting with such eloquent food. Make sure to pack light, so as not to spoil your appetite for one of our wonderful restaurants later in the evening. Spend the afternoon watching the children play or catch a baseball game on many early evenings during the spring and summer. Share your past, talk of the present and dream of the future together. {These are the three topics needed to have a memorable romantic date.}New Prague’s hometown park is located on Main Street right next to the Scott County library. Which brings me to my next romantic date idea.
2.} In New Prague, Minnesota our hometown library offers a quiet, quaint setting along with a large selection of wonderful, old-world poetry. Pick a quiet corner and read your favorite love poems out loud. Share why a particular piece reminds you of your loved one. Head over to the children’s section and try to find childhood favorites to read together. The memories these books will bring back will fill countless hours of conversation. Check out a book, that neither has read before, to enjoy together on those ‘staying in nights’. {It is a fun alternative to renting movies and ordering pizza.}This is the romantic date that keeps on giving.
3.} There are many small shops, bars and coffee places to check out on Main Street. Take along walk, hand in hand, and watch the people walking in and out of these places. Try to guess what their lives are like and where they are going next. Come up with different scenarios and share your reasoning behind them. ‘People Watching’ with someone else can give you insights you would not think possible with such a simple activity. Try it and see how different or the same your thoughts are and learn some small tidbits about your date’s personality that you wouldn’t in any other situation. As you are taking your stroll, make sure to check out the entertainment that is lined up for that night’s festivities on the signs hanging out in front of our local bars and restaurants. The nice thing about New Prague is almost everything you need is located on Main Street. If you do not see something that picks you interest, it is just a short drive to a few more restaurants on the outskirts of town.
Even though, checking out the ‘scene’ in neighboring larger cities can be an exciting change of pace, we all keep coming back for a fun night out in our hometown. New Prague may be considered ‘little’ by a lot of people’s standards; there is no better place to have a truly romantic date. Small town charm is the perfect compliment to these unique ideas for romance.
