Impress A First Date For $50 Or Less

Giraffes And Jerk Chicken

Dating an animal lover? Visit the Prospect Park Zoo together to connect with nature, and hopefully each other. Tickets are only $8 each, the cheapest of any New York zoos or aquariums, so you'll have plenty of cash left to spend. After you've had your fill of wildlife, visit The Islands for authentic Caribbean cuisine. This tiny Brooklyn establishment is famous for their juicy jerk chicken, only $10, and mama's-kitchen atmosphere. The place is snug, with only four tables in its upstairs dinning room, so why not try takeout? On a warm summer evening, set up a picnic in the park and enjoy that homemade taste of Jamaica with your significant other.
