What are typical first date plans at Harvard College?

What are typical first date plans at Harvard College?

Namrata Patel, Harvard College Class of 2006, HBS Class of 2011
Upvoted by Arvin Chang, Graduated from Harvard, Magna Cum Laude, 2 classes shy of a Masters in CS and William Chen, Harvard undergraduate, Class of 2014
Food/Drink oriented date plans:

Imbibe hot chocolate at Burdicks
Indulge in chocolate confections and other such desserts at Finale
Pretend you are a Parisian at La Creperie
Brood over coffee and philosophy at Pamplona Cafe
Study together upstairs at Hi-Rise Bakery
Enjoy a low-key first dinner date at Cambridge One
Sip Moroccan mint tea at Algiers
Catch up over cocktails at Green Street Grill in Central Square (better cocktails and more authentic pub experience than Grafton or the other Harvard Square bars)

 
Activity-oriented date plans (recommended):
Visit Vladimir Nabokov’s butterfly collection or the Glass Flower exhibition at the Harvard Museum of Natural History (NB: Both of these exhibits are beautiful and it is unfortunate that most Harvard students never see them)
Check the A.R.T schedule to see if there is an interesting play/production (Last year the UK troupe Punch Drunk performed its critically acclaimed Sleep No More http://www.americanrepertorythea... - that would have been an incredibly fun first date)
Check the Paradise Rock Club or the House of Blues schedule (There are always great bands - Xx, Fanfarlo, Temper Trap, La Roux, etc. - and ticket prices are very reasonable)
Take in an indie or classic film at Brattle Street Theater
Catch the latest blockbuster flick at the Loews Boston Common
Go “see the stars” from the Harvard College Observatory in the Science Center (maybe reserve this for date three)

   
I will edit as I continue to think of dates that friends or I have gone on while we were at Harvard College…
