Date Night on a Budget

May 13th, 2009

Hi Joyce-

I just found your link on metromix.com. Hopefully you can help.

My 26 yr. old cousin (male) is looking for something to do on a first date but with very little funds to spend. He is very shy, so if there is something that can keep them both entertained, great! He is willing to travel anywhere in the city. I know this is very little info but can you still give any ideas/suggestions?

thank you for your time
