When HowAboutWe invited me to have a free date night out with my husband, my first thought was, “What’s a date?”
As a busy mom of three, I cannot tell you when my husband and I have had time alone to actually do something fun or different. In the past years, we have gone to the movies occasionally or maybe a local restaurant, but nothing like we did sans children.
Then, if there is time, the conversation goes, “What do you want to do?”
“I don’t know. What do you want to do?”
So after I thought about it and saw what HowAboutWe had to offer and I thought, “Sign Me Up!”
HowAboutWe had many great options to choose from. Broadway tickets, making sushi, local day excursions and jazz concerts. We picked one that we would both enjoy and would be convenient for both of us. In Due Course fit the bill. This option took us to Todd English’s Olives Restaurant.
Our date included the option of Prosecco, Pinot Grigio or a Red. We each were able to enjoy 3 glasses. Then, we shared four courses that were absolutely delicious. Our starter was Fried Calamari. Then, we ventured on to Tortellini of Butternut Squash. Our main course was Branzino a la Plancha. Although the food was wonderful, what was even better was the time together without having to make a plan of our own. To end the evening, we shared a gourmet chocolate pudding. On HowAboutWe, our date would have cost $80. Our meal, drinks, tip and gratuity were included. I thought this was well worth it and our time together was priceless.
So, by now, I’m sure you want to know all the details about HowAboutWe:

There are times when people ask me after I have reviewed something, Is it worth it? And for HowAboutWe, I would have to say, Yes, Yes it is!
I was compensated for this post and treated to an evening out at Olives from HowAboutWe. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.
There is an Olives here and I would love to go! That is awesome that HowAboutWe has that included!
It’s so important to take time for yourself with three children. It seemed like a wonderful night. As a mom “new to two” my husband and I need to plan a night like yours. We didn’t go out much after our first and of course with an infant date night doesn’t exist. I’ll have to drop a few hints to inspire him to wine and dine me like the old days 😉
What a great idea! My husband and I need this for our date nights!
Now that is a cool idea to avoid the what do you want to do – I don’t know scenarios which are all too common! I’m gonna check it out!
This is such a great idea! My husband and I are the same way with “whatcha want to do?” “I don’t know what do you want to do?”.
What a great way to encourage date nights!
Very cool! I signed up even though it won’t be coming here, lol. I’m sure I’ll move somewhere it it will be someday.
How cool! We always do the “I don’t know what do you want to do” thing and this would be perfect!

What a neat idea. Whenever my husband and I have a date night we often sit around trying to figure out what to do too! This sounds like it would be a big help. I’m glad you had such a great time and thanks for recommending this!
I love that this focuses on married couples rather than singles!! What a fun service!
I wish they had one in other places besides just NYC 🙁 I’d love something like this.
I’m looking forward to them expanding to other cities. This would be perfect for our date nights!
This is such a fantastic idea, how fun!
Your before HowAboutWe date night sounds just like ours. Then, we never leave the house. What a fantastic idea for couples!
Ha! What’s a date! Same here? Nevah heard of it! LOL! Glad you got a night out with the hubs. Always needed! xo
I love this idea. This is so cool for couples. The fact that everything is planned for you every month is great. I love Olives by the way. Looks like you two had a great night out.
Thanks. It has been so long since we went out, to tell you the truth, I didn’t know about Olives. I am glad that I was able to take the time to experience this restaurant.
This sounds like a very worthwhile subscription service.
