Datecades. (or Dates of Decades is probably a better title)

date idea: This is a series of date ideas where each date reenacts a different decade.

Your date and you pick a decade and dress accordingly (poodle skirts for the '50s and other stereotypes). Then, you go to a restaurant that has been around since that decade (est. 1977, etc.). Then do an activity that relates to a particular period (like listen to jazz from whenever that was cool).

for example:
  • One person wears hippy attire, the other wears a nice suit from the '60s like a total square.
  • You go to a diner established in the '60s where one orders vegetarian and the other orders steak and potatoes.
  • Watch a movie like 2001: A Space Odyssey or another famous '60s film.
OR
  • Wear bell-bottoms and do nothing like in the 1970s.
There is a whole TON of possibilities, so be creative about it!

bonus: If you set up a series of dates where decades are attempted in order from 1950-present! So many dates!

status: UNATTEMPTED
-I think the 1980s date would be the most fun. You get to dress like punks and break things just for the hell of it.
