It\u2019s no secret that Dayton is thriving with good local eats and fun things to do around town, but it\u2019s easy to fall into the same old date night rut. With Valentine\u2019s Day just around the corner, you\u2019ll score big points with one of these well executed plans (don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ll let you take the credit!). Without further ado, here are JPG\u2019s top five date ideas:<\/p>\n

\nWho else loves a day date?! Start the morning off by perusing 2nd Street Market and check out some of Dayton\u2019s best local vendors. Grab a cup of coffee from Caffeine Carl, pickup fresh produce from Garber Farm and treat yourself to a beautiful arrangement from The Flowerman. Wrap up a perfect morning with brunch just down the street at Table 33 – be sure to try the chicken and waffles!<\/p>\n
\nThe Oregon District is a hub for fine dining and live music, creating the perfect night on the town. Start off with dinner at local favorites like Salar, Roost or Thai 9 (the JPG team debated fiercely over personal preferences!). Then, check out a live band at Blind Bob\u2019s or head over to Yellow Cab Tavern to see local artists at one of the best spots in town. Just be sure to check their calendar first!<\/p>\n
\nPay homage to the history of distilling in the Miami Valley with a tour and taste at Dayton\u2019s own Belle of Dayton, or if something on tap is more your speed head over to one of the many breweries downtown (Warped Wing, Toxic Brew Co, or Dayton Beer Co. to name a few). Be sure to grab something to go because it\u2019s BYOB just down the road at Black Box Improv Theater, where you\u2019ll laugh until you cry listening to the area\u2019s best local comedians perform on the fly. Shows run nightly from Wednesday to Saturday.<\/p>\n
\nTry something new together and get adventurous at Wild Axe Throwing in Beavercreek. Reserve one hour time slots on their website and learn from an axe master, then take turns perfecting the best throw. Loser buys dinner just down the street at the Submarine House – JPG recommends the teezers!<\/p>\n
\nHead just south of town to West Chester for an evening of comfort food with a modern twist and signature cocktails at Cozy\u2019s Cafe. Afterwards, get your game on at TopGolf where you can put your competitive spirit to the test. Be sure to top the night off with their signature injectable donut holes.<\/p>\n
