My favorite date night in the summer was at Sumo - sitting and enjoying food and drink outside. I loved the whole environment being outside watching everyone go by in downtown while it went from sunny to sunset. I love the feeling of being part of the scene and at the same time have space for us.

Our favorite date nights in Rochester is dinner at any of our local resturants followed by coffee and dessert at Dessert Oasis then a walk around downtown. (this is how my fiance and I spent our first date and how he proposed to me a few weeks ago)

My favorite night out in Rochester is a picnic at Music in the Park on a Summer Thursday night with a milkshake from Sanders.
In Winter it's dining at Kruse and Muers - and still Sanders for their wonderful Hot Chocolate to take on a star lit stroll

My wife and I have had season tickets at Meadowbrook Theatre for a few years now. Once a month during the play season we go to a play on Sunday afternoon and then pick a local restaurant to eat out after. A regular date afternoon that keeps us going out and supporting local businesses.

We have spent many nights all around downtown Rochester in our single days. At that time we loved hanging out downtown but didn't appreciate it as we do now 2 young kids later. So when we can find the time and money, we get all dressed up and go to chop house in the back for dinner. After that we will have a few drinks in the front in cabin cruisers. Then if were feeling a little frisky, we head down to fuse for a little dancing.

I'm going to stretch a bit further out and say dinner over at CK Diggs followed by cocktails at Crust and then see the latest flick at Emagine. Of course with two young kids these date nights are few and far between.
