First Date ideas? – The Answer Wall

First Date ideas? [Not Wwall themed please] — First Date ideas? [Not Wall themed please]

Well, what would you like to do on a first date? Selecting a restaurant/location/event that interests you would be a great way to see if your date is a good fit. For instance, if they scoff at your suggestion to go to your favorite record store/indie bookstore/quaint cafe, do you really want to date them anyway? If you’re clear out of ideas, the North End is always full of surprises. I recommend getting a sandwich, salad, or pizza to-go at Monica’s, then having a low-key picnic at Long Wharf. If the weather’s bad, there are tons of dine-in restaurants, too! If you run out of conversation, visit I AM Books to talk about your favorite reads or the aquarium to visit some super-cute otters. Everyone’s gotta love sea otters, right?

If she classy, take her to a restaurant & pay!

I’m not sure what “classy” means: everyone deserves some pampering.

La Morra is an excellent idea! The head chef brings experience from cooking and living in Italy for years, as well as from working in a noted Italian eatery before branching out on his own. It might be a little tough to get to from BC without access to a car, however. If you’re thinking that dinner is your first date of choice, I suggest looking at https://boston.eater.com/ where you can search for places to go by neighborhood.

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
