Have you been trying to find some new ideas for date night in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia? Hazelview Properties has some suggestions for you and your special someone. We’ve got you covered for date nights at home and close to your Lower Sackville apartment.
Try to prep a meal and explore a new recipe together. Not a skilled gourmand? We still encourage you to try something new – why not pull together a platter of small shareable dishes? A simple offering of fresh crusty bread, veggie crudités, dry roasted nuts and cheese is a lovely way to share a meal together. You can also be bold and select some new kinds of cheese and cured meats. This sort of shareable dining encourages conversation and is a fun way to explore new foods. Make sure that you match this with a bottle of wine or a pint or two of Nova Scotia brewed beers.
Other ideas for easy date-night recipes:
- Easy Pad-Thai courtesy of Canadian Living
- Steak with Blue Cheese and Celery Salad from The Food Network
- Baked Chicken Mediterranean from the Gluten Free Goddess
When hosting a night in, remember that the little details make all the difference. Set the mood with the addition of a perfect playlist; you can each come prepared with your favourite tunes. If you’d rather leave it to the experts, choose a mood-based playlist from Songza or explore your favourite genre with CBC Music online.
Would you prefer to get out of the apartment on your date? Go for a spring walk on a local hiking trail. The Great Oak Trail is an easy hike at 1.2 km and is accessible via First Lake Drive. There’s also the Lakeside Trail, that’s approximately 1 km with access via Metropolitan Ave. For more information on the trail system, visit: Second Lake Regional Park Association.
Check out a blockbuster at Empire Theatres (760 Sackville Drive, Lower Sackville NS). For an added boost of excitement in your evening, see your favourite flicks in Real 3D for an additional $3. It can get a little busier on Tuesday nights with reduced fare at $6.99.
Of course, living in Lower Sackville means that you’re also a short trip away from attractions and amenities in Dartmouth, Halifax and Bedford. Take the METROLINK and head to Halifax for a special event or a stroll around the harbour. For any beer lovers, take on a mini pub-crawl; downtown Halifax is renowned for its many pubs in close proximity to one another. For a more thorough experience, brewery tours are available at Propeller, Garrison and Alexander Keith’s all located in the downtown area.
