LA - The Putting Edge near LAX, Santa Monica Pier
NYC- Common Ground NYC in Manhattan (Google it)
Detroit - Greenfield Village, Dave & Busters, Coach Insignia (Upscale Lounge 72nd floor in GM HQ's), Townsend Hotel, Lathrup Village Park (empty and off the beaten track)

Toronto-Seyen Towerlol, its actually CN Tower
when i was dating in toronto, a local summed it up quite well.
there are two options in toronto, one scenery and one action
scenery - got to the top of cn tower
action - jump off

Lots of fun. Be sure to call and ask for their times for open shooting. They have Tournaments and other things that come up during the week.
If I may suggest: after you're at Archery, go for dinner at Hapisga Steakhouse nearby:
147-25 Union Turnpike

Not sure why you seem to believe: if I asked = I would have written I asked. As I have said elsewhere, the fact that my LOR (or yours for that matter) says I (or you) do or do not have to do something has/should have very little influence on actual practice
And newsflash: me not acting in accordance with your standards and/or conforming to your expectations, does not a non-mentsch make.

For a great lounge in NYC try the Lobby Lounge in the Manderin Oriental Hotel on the Upper West Side. Great atmosphere, great view (overlooks Columbus Circle). Make a reservation to be safe.Went on a few dates there, it's beautiful but tricky to get a reservation or a seat in the lounge though, usually they shuffle you off to the bar right next door.

I dated for a while and dated many girls. This was my usual 1st date hot spot. I would usually call beforehand and be sure the lounge and bar were both open. The lounge is best choice. The bar has music which can be quite loud at times.
Most people I had spoken to at the time had never heard of it. Only once did I meet another date there. That's about it... aside from the date where my friend and I scheduled to be there at the same time.. his date actually knew who I was via her brother! Once I had someone flirt with my date right in front of me in the elevator.
Parking was never a problem, always found something on the street on or around that block. Worst case scenario, you can walk in the adjoining mall and grab a drink and just sit and watch the people walk by.

Guilty on both counts. I remember the old Tea Lounge (on 7th) before the frummies discovered it and before it was all commercialized (this goes back like 8+ years now), I used to go all the time.

These places are all legitimate and depending on how they are done they can be either typical and boring or fun and interesting.

What are some alternatives to New Roc City type place? I heard it isn't that great (don't remember details but definitely heard complaints about noisiness) but the concept is good. (i.e. a place with arcades, pool, air hockey, bowling, stores, things to look at, possibly kosher food nearby - a place with variety).I feel ur misinformed, if there's a party then it's noisy so call b4. But it's an amazing afternoon spot!

nope, it was actually quite empty just didn't work for me. Had a much better time later on at D&B

nope, it was actually quite empty just didn't work for me. Had a much better time later on at D&BI like new roc city a lot better than d&b, 1st of all because there's more to do besides arcades (pool bowling go karts etc) 2nd d&b is always loud even if it's completely empty that's just the way the place is. 3rd I have been turned away from d&b bec the girl wasn't 21 (unless u go to long Island but that's a far drive)

If your gonna do circle line, do an hour and half max, cause it gets really boring. There's only so long you can discuss scenery for.

Anyone have any ideas for a friend of mine for a 3rd date? He went to 2 hotels and wants to do something now. He's a little bit on the yeshivish side and going out from brooklyn.third date i always wanted to do something fun, depending what type of guy he is if he wants to start getting more serious than i recommend going out to eat if not than push that off till the fourth and do something like newroc city or play in queens

Reb Moshe sounds like wherever you go you will have a problemMeeting one person is fine, I'm just not into meeting the world on a date.
I have found random places before and scouted them out prior to the date so that I knew exactly where to go. And they were far from the typical place, so I didn't have a problem

from the people or the cafe? ;) It was fairly empty, but they have music playing (when I was there, at some point they had Mattisyahu playing).... and of course it a rain forest... so you have animals moving and making noise, while the rain falls... etc.
Wouldn't suggest for a first date (many times not a second either...) but worked well for a 3rd...
We walked through the mall first... then went there...

The only restaurants I've ever really had someone sitting on top of me was at TPG NYC and Harbour Grill in MIA.I think he means even within like a foot. CMIIW. It is the norm in restaurants to sit near each other, I suppose someone that never goes out might find this disturbing even though most are used to it.
Also you can try and reserve Le Merais upstairs seating I think has more room.

In the end I came to the realization that I had to stop dating LA/NY girls as they would never be satisfied unless they lived in LA/NY. Marry a girl from somewhere else though, esp the midwest as I did, and they'll be perfectly happy wherever they wind up.

Try $20000 over 5 1/2 yrs, based out of Yerushalayim, Toronto, Lakewood and elsewhere, dated in and from enough cities to fill a post of 'cities I've been to', enough dates to moonlight as a dating concierge... well 8 years and 3 kids later, 20k doesn't seem so big any more. ;D

If you not into museums then it may not matter where you go, it works as a tour by giving you questions about the history of where you going... Almost like a museum but outdoors.

It's quite lit up, just it's blacklit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_light), causing everything of bright/flourescent color to 'glow'. It's an activity for all ages and you'll probably encounter them too

Is that open to the public?1. I know many law libraries for sure are open to the public even if they claim their not. Because they house federal archives which is by law open to the public therefore so is the library. 2. Most big college libraries I've been in have lounge areas where people talk. FTR I've never been in New Haven. Just a guess of a good place.

Peninsula rooftop is a great place. During the winter they put heaters up and its quite nice. However it can get really crowded from thursday night - sunday night with fancy manhattan socialite type, wearing outfits that you would expect. So if that bothers you I would stay away.I was there on a Monday night it was pretty empty (save for a Chabad date ::)) though the inside part filled up by like 9:30

Post by: Armadillo on December 07, 2013, 04:54:11 PM
Type of crowd?30 something Manhattanites, chic, hip
Ambiance?Depends which section. The most conducive for a (frum) date is the Library Bar. It's located to the back left of where you come in. It's comfy, has interesting artwork, a pooltable. If it's noisy there should be seating in the hallway just outside. From their website it seems they've added/updated lounge areas that weren't there when I was. Personally, I recommend checking it out before coming with the girl. Either way, the Library Bar should be nice.
https://www.morganshotelgroup.com/hudson/hudson-new-york/eat-drink/library-bar
Parking?Way back when, I was able to find parking on the street after 6 or 7 (don't remember, prob.7) within a block or two. There's a good chance that has changed.

JFK is not in brooklyn.
Also, the time is the same--you're spending 3-4 hours on the date. What diff does it make how much of that is in the car?
And the cost difference is not high. There are plenty of nice places in manhattan where the seltzer is cheap.
Post by: SamKey on December 09, 2013, 03:54:34 PM
JFK is not in brooklyn.tolls + parking less traffic and there's a minimum on the time you have to be in the lounge so that just makes the date so much longer

Depends on the girl Hilton JFK is fine for a first date most people don't want to spend so much time and money on a first dateSamkey, you haven't been dating long enough to sound so jaded.
FYI, there are original ways to not spend so much time and money and still manage to look like you put thought and effort into making it a pleasant experience. Remember, dating is mostly focused on tachlis, but there's also courting involved. Otherwise you can just sit in.

Drive time doesn't (usually) count towards expected/accepted date time. So if you're going to need to be in the lounge (or wherever) for an hour and a half, shorter driving time means shorter date.

Post by: Armadillo on December 09, 2013, 06:01:47 PM
What is your "requisite time"First date: 1.5 - 2 hours at the location, 2.5 - 3 hours total. This is a lechatchila minimum. Extenuating circumstances may vary. It shouldn't be much longer either - first dates are mostly to see if you want a second one. FME, girls appreciate first dates on the shorter side.
where did you get the notion that time in the car doesn't count?Much experience. Talking to people. Mostly just experience. Many many dates with many many girls.
It's also a s'vara. You're going out on a date. If you get stuck in traffic, you're not going to turn around when you get there just because you were together already for two hours.

To get into Dave and Busters, does the girl need to have ID with her?Some yes, some no. I think I once went to one where they said if I'm over 21 ( or maybe 25?) I can bring her in

To get into Dave and Busters, does the girl need to have ID with her?I went to the one in Times Square and they let her in but told her to stay away from the bar.
I think in one of the Long Island locations before a certain time at night you don't have to be 21.

depends on her looks. It's a good way to decide whether to go out again, if you're on the fence.

There's a place in Manhattan where you can paint with acrylics and take it home immediately. Just have to make sure to ask for that type of paint.
Place is called make meaning.

Well, no one was home except for my father in a different room (I arranged it to be like that) and it was just the first 45 minutes of a normal more conventional date. It came about because she had heard that I make a mean cholent and really wanted to see it being made. So it really was more of a "date-activity" and not so much a family meeting/chill.

Pottery painting.

I can hear a svara the other way ;)I never got that argument. If you're still dating the girl when it's ready, great, make a pit stop on another date to pick them up. If not, who cares, you didn't spend the money because you were desperate for a beautiful piece of painted pottery, you did it for the activity of it.
I did this on my 5th date with my wife, and it saved me big time. She had told the shadchan after date #4 (New Roc City - she did not enjoy that) that she didn't think it was going anywhere. But good old pottery painting turned it around for me :D. (Obviously it wasn't the activity itself, but it created the environment necessary to progress I suppose).

One girl was quiet as a churchmouse and after being convinced to go out again, I took her pottery painting. This time rather than trying to pull teeth, I had something to keep busy with in the awkward (for me) silence. It was kind of surreal.
The best part is, when I picked up the pieces (there was no next date), I gave the little car change bank with her name on the license plate to my sister in law as a present! :D

Which stray boots did you do?Union Square/Flatiron district. I found. groupon-type site that gave me 2/15 though I'm not sure what one would have been like there definitely wasn't anything "for two"about it. It was not childish at all and lots of fun to work together finding things but I guess it depends on the girl

Post by: ushdadude on December 30, 2013, 08:57:05 AM
I don't consider it dishonest to play with two people on one device and only pay one fee. It is like if your cable company said that you have to pay per watcher on your TV and it is the "honor system". My honor doesn't include them having an insane pricing structure which makes no sense and charges for no additional service.
First off, no cable company says that. Second, why would it be different than paying for 1 subway ticket and having 2 people go through? Why should they care if an extra person comes on? The train doesn't have to work any harder.

So change it to any other venue that you'd like. Argument still stands. It's their service and they can charge what they like. By not honoring it, you are potentially stealing.

-1 a tour with fifteen people is totally different than a tour with 30
one or two tag alongs don't change the dynamic of the tour if they are quiet. But trying to find an exact parallel situation is a distraction from the original discussion. If it is in their terms, it might be stealing.

You can also just purchase refundable tix and use any other airline to which you have access.
Of course, it means going through security. But at least then you know if she carries weapons on dates.

Or you are a nerd and like airplanes, plus every date in the 70's-90's were in the airport so it's almost cliche.
Also depends on whether the girl has been in a lounge before, if she likes or hates airports etc.

As far as pricey goes, yea dates aren't cheap. I rent every time here in lakewood too. Not a reason to compromise a certain class to save a few bucks..

Personally, I'm more uncomfortable playing with used board games at a bar. Not every game requires a big board eg bananagrams, card games etc. You can borrow some from family.

VB might be better for a date. Noi Due doesn't take reservations so if you're going at a busy time you will likely need to wait outside. It's also more crowded and louder than VB.

Anyone familiar with the Algonquin hotel? http://www.algonquinhotel.comBeen there (years ago). It's across the street from the Royalton (one of my go-to places).
It seems like they've been updating it, but iirc it was kind of stuffy - old school flavor

I've done stray boots on 5th avenue and Tribeca in NYC... They were both good. We used a blackberry but through text message it worked fine. Make sure to bring water/snacks since you are walking around the city for a couple of hours. If the weather is good it can be a lot of fun while seeing some cool sites in the city you might never see or may never know much about. One heads up - there can be a challenge to take a picture by some artifact so be ready with your answer on what you want to do with your date!

Has any DDF'ers proposed in Paris?yup - I did atop the eiffel tower.. did it on the hour in the evening as the tower lit up, got down on one knee.. flew in that morning from london flew out that evening back...
Had a great day going around paris and the proposal was the grand finale..
We had a few cocktails in the very nice AF lounge on the way back... and at customs as we got back to london, the customs guy asked why I went for so short, and when I told him he said "I've been married 42 years and proposing on the eiffel tower still sounds like a great idea!"... lol...

Can anybody suggest any places in or around Monsey?
Castle on the hudson
Post by: avrumy22 on January 10, 2015, 06:17:13 PM
Thanks for the recommendation. Pretty cool place. Just a heads up, there is a $15 cover charge for the lounge.
When i went i bought drinks at the bar and sat myself. Was abt a couple months ago. It could be it changed to a cover charge.
Other then that how was it??

Other then that how was it??
Was very nice.

I was asked to inquire: Is this activity yichud if it's just 2 players in a room? Are they really locked -- has anyone been here? http://static.escapetheroomnyc.com/bookeo.htmlMaybe technically not (There are cameras and the staff can come in at any given time) but definitely in spirit. I would ask a LOR.

Went there twice. Once we went to the back and sat there. More modern than the Brooklyn Marriott but nothing great. The second time they told us there's a rooftop club two doors down (pretty sure it's called Brooklyn Terrace). We decided to check it out. There wasn't a soul there and it was a pretty cool place. You're able to go outdoors but since it was winter time we just sat inside.

Post by: Dr Moose on October 18, 2015, 07:09:06 PM

if she's pretty and the guy has id and vouches you can frequently get past the bouncerPro tip: when she gets in the car, don't say, "oh, I guess we'll have to go somewhere else. No way that mug is getting you in."

Far enough along, it could be a very fun activity.

They likely will have video surveillance of the rooms, if that makes things better.

even with the surveillance its gentiles and im fairly certain that's problematic regarding yichud.

even with the surveillance its gentiles and im fairly certain that's problematic regarding yichud.Once you brought it up: My Rabbi holds (and yes he's got a Chasidish background) that we do not automatically assume that all goyim are prutzim and unless you assess him to be a parutz there is no issue with yichud. This would be Matir taking a flying lesson if the pilot meets the criteria.

Ive done this with family. Its the strongest possibility of yichud you can draw upI've never done the one the op mentioned, but the one I went to had 2 doors. One which was locked that you had to open with the clues, and the other was always unlocked. They need it for safety reasons, fire escape etc. The employees would randomly pop their head in to see how you're doing.

thnk you. I wanted it for today.Just try to let natural conversation flow. If you're going to play games, play a real one. I once went on a date where we went to a place that had real board games you can play. ( since closed). It led to casual conversation. ps - we got married ;). Personally I think dating has become too much about "games". Life is natural - let conversation flow. Difficult converstions are part of life and how people bring up or respond to difficult topics is all part of who the person is. I think the game is interspersed with serious and fun questions.Make that part of your natural conversation.

The point is, even when you feel you need it, don't make the date all about the game. Use the game to enhance the date and to help spark and/or enhance your conversation.

Traffic on Route 9 and on Squankum Rd will be heavy as all the new daters will be leaving for their first dates. The Lounge at the Brooklyn Marriott is expecting an over flow crowd. Chelsea Piers has 2 bouncers at the door reminding these new young 1st timers that unless its their 3rd date they should not be there. It doesn’t Pas.
REMINDER to all new daters. Take your keys, take your ez-pass, fill the car up with gas, only take your hat off after you have opened the door for your date, she is in the car and you both have your seat belts fastened.
If the anticipated traffic is heavy call the Shadchan to inform the girls family you are running late, make sure she is home by 11:30, walk her to the door, and most important of all…..don’t text all your friends about your date while your driving back to Lakewood. Wait till you are back in the dorm.
Keep in mind that while you are sure every girl is waiting for you to come out of the freezer and since you are such a great catch these poor girls are just plotzing to date you and they should feel honored that after the long list of names you chose them to be your first date…..still….if you get engaged within a week it will start rumors that you must have not waited till the freezer door opened and then the Shidduch may not be Chal:)
Happy dating!

Hapisgah has great food but depending on when you're going, it can get very noisy.sushi metzuyan is definitely fish oriented if not completely sushi related.

sushi metzuyan is definitely fish oriented if not completely sushi related.I've been there several times and never ordered anything fish or sushi related. We did enjoy the food we ordered, and the prices are not bad.

Update on Hapisgah in Queens. Great place for a date. Not too crowded (was mashma from taking to them they usually aren't). after bringing out some pickled vegetables and pita the soup was great and entrée was filling and descent. Nice people.Love their pita, surprised no one mentioned that before.

How is The Breakers in Spring Lake ?Not much room in the lobby. But if it's nice, you can sit outside on the porch. Can also go for a walk on beach which is right across the street.

How is The Breakers in Spring Lake ?Been there a few times. Thought it was a secret
When the weather is nice, the porch and the boardwalk is the way to go. Call them to see if they are having events so you know if there will be room inside.

Update on Cafe Muscat in Queens. Saw three others. Ambiance is decent if not a little crowded in the middle. when you are first seated they ask you if you want to wash. We said yes and they brought the most amazingly fresh and warm Italian style bread With butter. absolutely out of this world. I kept on asking for more of it .

If he is, I would recommend just about ANYTHING over a hotel lounge. Lounges are awkward and not at all conducive to a comfortable dating environment.

Has anyone been to Hall of Fame Billiards in Brooklyn. Apparently its a longtime outpost housing pool & Ping-Pong tables, plus a video arcade, in an alcohol-free setting.Went there last night. Perfect place, its not the fanciest place, however for a 2nd-4th date I think its fine. There is plenty of Pool Tables, 4 Ping-Pong tables in enclosed cages, 2 Air Hockey Tables and a couple of Arcade and Driving Games. There is no Bar, but there is a vending machine. (They let you bring drinks in, but not food) The Pool Tables were $12/hr and Air Hockey was $1 per game. Ping Pong is $10/hr. Parking was hard.
There is a movie theater the next block over, and the owner told me that on nights when there is a new/good movie on, the place will fill up after the showings. So call that day - the owner will know which movies playing and if it popular.

Prob the best place to post this.
sorry if it's been posted elsewhere
To all guys in shidduchim: here are some guidelines to follow if you want that first date to have a chance of leading to a second one:
1) Don't talk about your hashkafos on the first date. Its kinda creepy and TMI.
2)Three hours. That's the max. You want to end off with the girl looking forward to another date, not dreading it.
3) When the girl is talking, LOOK HER IN THE FACE AND LISTEN TO WHAT SHES SAYING!
4) Don't keep steering the conversation back to yourself. If she tells you a story, ask her a question about it instead of just using her story as an excuse to talk about yourself. Listen to HEAR, not just to reply.
5) DONT SING ALONG WITH THE MUSIC IN THE LOUNGE
6) Don't get angry at the guys in the parking garage no matter how stupid they are.
7) Don't keep looking at your phone when you're driving, if you need gps, get a holder for your phone.
8) If the little beepy thing keeps going off in your car, you're probably driving like a maniac. Slow the heck down. Dont show off at the wheel. We want to get home alive.
9) Don't discuss which tv shows you watch on the 1st date. I barely know you.
10) it's ok to be good at things, but you're good at EVERYTHING? I find that hard to believe.
In short, try to have a good time while trying to give me one as well. Use common sense, and try to be polite and normal.
Sincerely,
A Girl In Shidduchim

3)Try not to agree with everything we say this is the 21st century girls are allowed 2 have their own opinion
4)If you can't walk in heels don't wear them!
5)Darken up on the makeup...you can enhance your facial featuresdon't hide them
6) Try to wear some color this is a date not a funeral
7) If we go out for food your allowed to eat it's kinda weird when your just watching us eat (and it's free take advantage )
8)If there's a lull in conversation you're allowed to help out it's not just the guys job to carry the conversation
9)If we're quiet in the car it's because it's hard 2 carry conversation and drive ( not because we're not interested in you)
10)Yes, guys are good at everything. Just Kidding lol...
At the end of the day we aren't against you...we're trying 2 get married 2 so hatzlacha in everything in life and we should all find our zivug soon. Amen.
Sincerely,
The Guys In Shidduchim

New tip. Don't get dating advice from an anonymous internet forum. find a trusted rebbe/advisorthats a catch 22 ::)
alternatively u can think for yourself and not have your rebbe micro manage your life

My sister was just in the Leonardo Jerusalem. She was posting clips that were so funny. there were atleast 15 dates there in one night! At one point there was a date that didnt have where to sit because all tables were occupied by dates. Also there were 2 men standing together waiting for their prospective dates. Another one you can see a girl and her father and then the boy goes over and the father leaves. It was like a date factory. So i would day that the Leonardo is definitely not a good dating spot :-)...And there was this girl that was actually taking pix and vids! Crazy Americans!

Any ideas or concepts for a day date on July 4th in the Lakewood area? Im very concerned about possible "pritzus" on any type of "walking in the park" being that it is supposed to be in the mid 80s.Looking for July 4th day date as well, have done boardwalks, ocean place etc

Turkey swamp park is a decent park about half hour from lakewood. They have a bunch of different walks and picnic areas (although those will probably be some peoplet there) but its a big enough park where you can find a bench or table where you could also sit and talk.

I don't date anymore, but I was recently in a park (with my wife and kids) and I saw something I never saw before. There was a couple on a date, standard Lakewood look, but they were going fishing. I find this absolutely brilliant. Assuming the girl want totally flip out it would seem to be the perfect balance of a mild distraction so that it won't be too quiet but just enough to have a nice conversation. Just thought I share for all those that need something to do.Sounds interesting

In Brooklyn I think orchidea is good for dairy
In the city for dairy you can do cafe k or noi due
Meat in Brooklyn bison and bourbon is nice
In the city Abigaels or Le marais are nice mid level options
Le marais is in a nicer area if you want to go walking around after.

Requests in order of preference.
1) A nice dating atmosphere (see quote below).
2) Unlikely to be turned away because of lack of space or because we are not hotel guests.
3) (Relatively) Easy to find street parking or cheap parking nearby.
4) Near the West Side/ Central Park Area.
1) Will I typical bump into other frummies there?
2) how's the noise level there?

Indoor mini golf nyc (5 boros)I'm pretty sure the one by Chelsea piers is indoors but basing this off the bowling there it can be a little expensive (on the other hand it's easy to find parking on the street there at night)

Is it tznius?I think it's more respectful to call her a "she" - not an "it." Just my two cents.

Which area or specific hotel in midtown Manhattan am I likely to find street parking nearby during the evening? (The only area I've had consistent success is near Rockefeller Center - there are meters at night.)If you go to bestparking.com you can pick your location and see what the street parking is like there
