I Sceam for Ice Cream

Do you have a go-to ice cream spot?

One of the O.G. ice cream pit stops has got to be BDI. It’s location in Elm Park allows it to be an absolutely beautiful bike ride or walk, any time of day. The family business has been passed down several generations over the last 55 years, and it only seems to be getting better!

The most recent news is that they have partnered with our neighbors, Jenna Rae Cakes, to provide you with some one-of-a-kind flavours. Legitimately almost too pretty to eat!

There are quite a few ice cream places popping up around the city - which I have zero problem with :). Do you have a go-to spot, other than BDI? I know a lot of them are beginning to cater to the vegan consumer, which is wonderful! Vegans like sweets too! (Or so I hear).

Get out and enjoy some ice cream this week!

Dating ain’t easy, but this could help!

Hit up a patio and relax

• There are some great patios around the city! To name a few, Cibo on Waterfront, Infernos, and The Roost rooftop patio… (Also, looking for more suggestions always)

• Rumor’s Comedy Club

  • Hear me out - I know stand up comedy is not everybody’s jam but seriously… What’s a better way to loosen up a little bit than laughing your brains out to start out the night? Scope out their calendar to see who’s coming up in the near future, I’ve never had a bad time. I guess just double check your date is into it, as sometimes people get real uncomfortable.

• Go for a bike ride

  • Even bike ride to a patio! Even better!

• A romantic stroll through Leo Mol Garden

  • So cute. Casual stroll on a warm summer evening. Can’t go wrong! Even smarter? Start the walk off at Sargent Sundae and grab a treat for the walk.

• Deluca’s cooking class

  • I personally have not done this, but have only heard great things. Good food, great company, perfect combo.

Hit up your fun friends for a double date

• This is perfect at any stage of your relationship. If it’s early on it’s a great way to feel comfortable immediately since you’re paired with some of your close friends for the evening. And, they could also pump your tires a little bit which is a win.

• Goldeyes Baseball Game

  • These games are so affordable and always a good time! Could be fun to go with a group of friends as well.

• Movie in the park

  • A smart piece of advice is to check out the mosquito situation prior to committing to this. The last scenario you want to be in is getting really irritated to the point of crying because the bugs just won’t quit. (Maybe a little extreme, but hey, we all have our days).

That is my go to list for dates here in the city. I hope it helps! If you have suggestions or other go to creative ideas, leave a comment! Whether it’s a first date or a 50th date, we all need to spend some time with the ones we love…or just like ;).
