Right now my BF is laid off so we find cheap dates pretty often! If it's nice out, we make sandwiches and put some hummus and carrots in a bag and take the dog to the brooklyn promenade. Its a long walk and is so beautiful up there! Frequently we gift each other books, candles, etc that people leave out on the steps of their brownstones for the taking. If it is crap weather, we order in Joya and make ghetto sangria (franzia, seltzer, and orange slices).
Actually striking up a conversation with that cute bearded fella on the subway and taking a walk around Prospect Park. Do nothing Valentine's Day-ish because it's just a bit too soon. We've only been acquainted for a couple hours after all.
Since Valentines Day falls on a Tuesday ideally my date and I would hit up Popeye's for their 2 for 99cents Tuesday chicken special .Then we would go to CVS at midnight so we can buy all the Valentines Day Candy half off, we would take our winnings to the Brooklyn Bridge where we would conclude our uber romantic evening.
My husband and I love a good cheap date. We'd probably start with tacos at Reyes Deli ($2.25 a pop - best in BK), get coffee at Cafe 474, & window shop down 5th avenue. If it's during the weekend, we'd hang out at the Brooklyn Flea and he'd buy me a tiny cupcake from the Kumquat Cupcakery stand. And oh yeah, sex. Not at the Brooklyn Flea probably, but you know, when we get home.
Cheap Valentine's Day Date: Go to Barnes and Nobles, leaf through a Time Out New York and find all the free deals that sound appealing, don't do any of them but feel accomplished for having assembled them all in one place, go to electronic store and take risque pictures or bring up inappropriate websites on the electronics, go to either a candle store or Lush, someplace like that and smell everything, end the night over a sweet dinner: 2 slices of pizza for a $1 at Two Bros pizza. ROMANCE!
