date night - what should we do?
Planning a date night for Saturday night for a very overtired, overworked, overstressed, overextended couple, namely us!
I'm guessing it's too late to schedule a relaxing couples' massage...
Any really good restaurant recommendations in the RVC area or maybe the Nautical Mile?
Any other creative ideas?
And I'm serious about the overtired part. We both are working ridiculous, unthinkable hours this week (I'm still at work -- been here since 8 AM, same schedule tomorrow). We'll also be spending Saturday training with the horses as usual... so things like rock climbing and marathon running are out!
We do the "date nights at home" too often and need a change of scenery... so needs to be OUT of the house!

Why would it be too late for a couples massage? That sounds perfect!!

Re: date night - what should we do?
I guess I was just assuming that stuff would book up quickly for a Saturday night. I don't even know where to go!
Any suggestions? I'm willing to try!

Well, I live out east so I only know of the East Wind and Luna Mesa. Try Nu Best maybe?

Sounds nice, but we'll be outside ALL day Saturday (from 8 Am until 3 PM)... indoors would be preferred... but this does sound tempting so maybe...

Re: date night - what should we do?
I got the name, also its a place my sister would never take her child to, so its defin a kid-free place.
Dario's Restaurant 13 N Village Ave Rockville Centre, NY 11570 516-255-0535
Here is a little review i found online
There is a whiff of broad comedy to the proceedings at this classic-style Rockville Centre Italian. The owner greets favored customers with a slight bow and a handshake. At tableside, tuxedoed waiters flip romaine, croutons and dressing into their signature Caesar salad. The garlic bread is so pungent and damp with butter that it is difficult not to make a meal of it alone. For all that, dinner at Dario's does not devolve into high camp and rarely do pie fights break out. Instead, it's simply an excellent, caring Northern Italian that puts a premium on customer satisfaction through classic cuisine and attentive but never fawning service. It's a good place to reacquaint yourself with dishes you may have soured on owing to careless preparations elsewhere. Try appetizers of baked clams topped with breadcrumbs or an order of stuffed mushrooms. The classic piccatas, marsalas, pizzaiolas and parmigianas go above and beyond the call of ordinary. But, as regulars know, the specials are the thing, whether of pasta, fish or veal chops. The wine list is expensive, but there are many high-quality Italians available for well under $30.

I'd try to find a spa for a couple massage. I don't think it's too late!

Re: date night - what should we do?
Thanks, everyone! I've been looking into some nearby spas to see if we can get a massage in. That would be fantastic. Maybe we can do that and a nice dinner.
I've actually heard of Darios and have heard people rave about it... but I don't believe I've ever been there. Might be a good night to try it out!
I'm excited - I got a new haircut today (cut off about 8 inches) and it needs to debut!

Re: date night - what should we do?
If you're not in the mood for Italian, try George Martin, it's our favorite place in RVC. Gabrielle's is great too. Have fun!
