You can't ever go wrong with fondue and mulled cider on a snowy afternoon, especially when you're nestled in a cozy pub called Grendel's Den. It's a gem in Harvard Square, and if you dine before 7pm all meals are half off. Can't beat that! And after dinner, saunter over to the Brattle Theater to watch a classic or independent film to top off the evening.
This is at the top of my winter to-do list. My brother and his wife rave about their date nights here at this local spot in Davis Square. Start with a few games of candlepin bowling, followed by delicious gourmet pizzas at the Flatbread Pizza Company. And the nice part about the whole thing? The restaurant and the bowling are under the same roof!
When the thermometer drops below freezing, there's nothing better than a warm massage and a soak in a private tub at Inman Oasis in Inman Square. You can even hook up your iPod to listen to your favorite music while you and your date relax and unwind. After pampering yourselves, head over to the East Coast Grill for some spicy, fire grilled fare or Hungry Mother for Southern comfort food.
I love snowshoeing. Almost anyone can do it, and it's a great way to stay active outside when everything is covered in snow. There are plenty of places to snowshoe around the city after a big storm--along the Charles, through Boston Commons, Blue Hills, and at Arnold Arboretum they offer a snowshoe conifer tour. And after a day spent in the cold, there's no better excuse to snuggle up next to your sweetie. Or head to a great place with a fireplace like Charlestown's Warren Tavern, the Bristol Lounge for burgers, or the Fireplace in Brookline.
