Amateur Night at the Apollo
For an evening of serious entertainment, head up to Harlem's iconic Apollo Theater for Amateur Night. Twenty dollar tickets make it the priciest date plan on our list, but it's definitely worth it. Amateur Night is the quintessential talent competition with a rich history that began in 1934. The legendary venue has launched the careers of icons such as Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, James Brown, and Lauryn Hill. Amateur Night is every Wednesday at 7:30. Check out the list of upcoming competitors here. Apollo Theater 253 West 125th Street, New York [Photo via]
