Cheap date ideas around Chicago?

LikeAnOcean

And no, I'm not talking about someone who's easy.

Had a good first date with a girl yesterday and she wants to do something again tomorrow night already.

I paid for dinner and drinks, but don't want to blow my budget with in a few days. It's too soon to invite her over for dinner and movie.

Any good, reasonably priced ideas? City, west or north suburbs?

there's a place called prairie moon right off of dempster, pretty much right at downtown evanston. good brew selection and good food. Nothin fancy but solid imo.

Thanks, we ended up doing Buffalo Wild Wings, but that was her idea. I'd like to make the second date more interesting.

Hey Likeanocean,
Do you like jazz? I'm a huge...huge fan and I used to take chicks to jazz clubs quite often when I lived there.
Not only are they fun as shit, and do you get to hear incredible, under-appreciated musicians...but most jazz clubs in Chitown are very inexpensive. Cheap or no cover, and drinks are very reasonable.

That and even if the chick doesn't dig jazz, she'll be able to see your appreciation for the real arts.

Sounds cool, but I've really been wanting to go to a blues bar, specifically Kingston Mines.. I thought about that, but that seems like it would be a better weekend idea. Someone mentioned bowling, and well, last time I took a girl bowling things got a little kinky, so I may have to give that a try again.

I know a smoking baby who has some time on his hands and would be happy to show you around.

do you have a favourite place in chicago?? like a park or a view spot or museum or walk or whatever??? imo as a chick id like that... to be shown somewhere thats special to my date and have him just talk about why it is, how it got to be so. special places with meaning shared are cool. she gets to learn something about you and you get to learn if she can tolerate your story telling.
