A Valentine's date guide for all budgets and personalities
22.05.12
Sporty date
First: You know that credit card commercial where the girl cashes in her loyalty points to go on a dizzying rock climb? This isn’t quite that grandiose, but it’s a perfect starter point. David Turrentine, general manager of Atlanta Rocks! indoor rock climbing gym, says he knows of plenty of couples who have met on the climbing wall and later gotten married. If that’s too ambitious a goal, start slow with a two-hour novice climb ($25 per person) or a two-hour intro class ($35 per person). Reservations required.
Then: Head to one of the nine Planet Smoothie locations around Atlanta (the closest to Atlanta Rocks! is on Peachtree Road) to maintain your wellness. Perhaps a “Thelma & Louise” (strawberries, pineapple, fiber blast) for the ladies and a “Yo’ Adriane” (peaches, strawberries, yogurt, fiber blast) for the more masculine partner will suffice.
Get there: Atlanta Rocks! 1019 Collier Road N.W., Atlanta. 404-351-3009, www.atlantarocks.com .
