6. Pizza in the park
Pick-up a round of pizza (look for coupons before ordering) and some beverages. Take the pizza and your someone special with you to the park. If you prefer eat on a picnic table, but it is much more romantic when bodies are allowed to tangle themselves together on a blanket.

7. Have a picnic for two
Ever heard of a pantry picnic? It is where you get out all that stuff that’s been sitting in the back of the pantry and nearing it’s expiration date and turn it into finger food. You can grab a cooler if you don't have one check out this hip Insulated Shoulder Pack with Picnic Service for 2, that has a compartment to keep your vino properly chilled.

The best places are parks close to home with full size playground equipment. Highly recommended are parks with at least a swing where the two of you can share romantic rides and/or a pond with a few ducks, geese and other water fowl that will happily devour your leftovers.

8. Board games
Break out, borrow or buy a board game. There are games online that the both of you can play together and enjoy too. Create-your-own treats to snack on using fruit, cheese or sandwiches. To save time grab ready-to-go treats from the local deli.


9.Free Concert
Free concerts or musical events are a staple of city life. It does not have to be your favorite kind of music. You are there for the entertainment value. If it gets too boring you can always let the music become your soundtrack for some serious smooching.

10. Make a music CD together
You can go to any music website (Itunes, Myspace, ) and download whatever kind of music that floats your boat around a dollar each. It can be your favorite love, dance or party songs. One thing for sure it will become the one CD you won't leave home without.
