Date night has a new look. A little less paint the town. A little more sit on the couch. Even though most nights have the same backdrop these days, we’ve got a few ideas to spice up any casual occasion at home with your significant other.

We’ll start simple with the default date: dinner. Order from your favorite restaurant in Dublin to support the local scene and make another night at home feel like a five-star affair. Plus, it’s a fun challenge to match your dinner to a movie. Maybe a coconut shrimp platter from Pacific Catch to pair with Forrest Gump, carbonara and cannoli from Berevino Italian Pub to go with the classic Roman Holiday or a Philly pizza from Amici’s East Coast Pizzeria to complement Silver Linings Playbook. And these restaurants even have special offers for Boulevard enthusiasts during the month of February!*

Is ordering out losing its luster? Then challenge your significant other to a cook-off! Put all those hours binge watching The Great British Baking Show to the test and take this date into the kitchen. Choose a specific dish to create—like an appetizer or dessert. Or pick a particular ingredient to get creative with. May the best chef win!

Date nights and wine go together like peanut butter and jelly. So why not make it the main event? It’s easy to create a wine and paint night at home with canvas and paint, a YouTube tutorial and your favorite bottle of Merlot. Or if you’re just in it for the vino, mini cheese boards and tasting glasses make for a fun DIY wine tasting. And a great stay-at-home double date night!

We know you’re missing your concerts and live music at the bar. But you can still have just as much fun at home. Dress as if you’re looking to turn heads. Place some disco lights around the great room. Order some special drinks from World of Beer or Market Tavern Dublin. Tune into a DJ livestream on Twitch. Take your partner by the hand and dance like nobody’s watching!

When you live at Boulevard, “romantic getaway” is on the list of things your home can do. So plan an at-home date for Friday night, and try something new just for two.
