Surprise Evening Walk and Russian Cuisine
Add an element of surprise to your date in Saint Petersburg with a romantic evening walk around the most iconic places in the city, followed by a taste of authentic Russian cuisine in a cozy local restaurant.
- Start your date with a leisurely stroll along Nevsky Prospekt, the main street in Saint Petersburg, as the sun starts to set. Take a detour into the Palace Square and share a moment of awe looking at the Winter Palace. The city, steeped in history, has many corners to explore and what better way to do that than a surprise turn at each block?
- After your walk, surprise your special one with an intimate dinner at a local restaurant. Choose a spot that serves authentic Russian cuisine. From Borsch and Pelmeni to Blini and caviar, feast on a variety of delicious dishes.
- End your date on a sweet note with a shared dessert or try their local drinks like Kvass or Medovukha. Make sure to listen to some local music to complete your experience of a Russian evening.
Preparation steps:
- To make this date perfect, some preparation is required. First and foremost, familiarize yourself with the route you'll be taking during the walk. The goal is to make it look casual and unplanned, even though you know exactly where you're heading.
- Next, find a local restaurant and check their menu. Confirm if they offer authentic Russian cuisine. Making a reservation will be beneficial to avoid any waits. Also, read up a bit about the dishes to impress your date with your knowledge.
- Dress appropriately for the weather as you'll be spending a fair amount of time outdoors. Comfortable walking shoes are a must so you both can enjoy your walk without discomfort.
Some tips:
- The beauty of this date is in the surprise element, so try to keep your plans under wraps until the last moment. Play the role of a local guide, sharing little known facts or stories about the places you visit to make the walk more interesting.
- During the dinner, be adventurous in your food choices. Trying new dishes will provide talking points and shared experiences.
- Finally, remember to stay present and enjoy the experience. While planning is important, the most memorable dates are often those where the couple immerses themselves fully in the experience, paying attention to each other more than the surroundings.
