TOP 5 BACKPACKING DATE NIGHTS IN MELBOURNE<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

So you\u2019ve made eye contact across the free breakfast, engaged in lackluster conversation when entering the dorm and now you\u2019ve even passed each other in the corridor. The time is now – ask them out.<\/p>

It\u2019s hard to know what to do and where is good to go on a date when travelling. You also don\u2019t want to break the bank! Well, it\u2019s a good job that the Welcome to Travel team are real-life romantic heroes then isn\u2019t it?\u00a0<\/p>

Take a look at these.<\/p>

St Kilda Penguins<\/strong><\/h2>

Surely this is an absolute winner? These lovely little creatures only come out at sunset meaning you\u2019re going to have to see them after a romantic stroll along the promenade watching an epic St Kilda<\/a> sunset. When you\u2019re done, you can swing a left up the pier and take a look at these little fellas.<\/p>

It\u2019s SUNSET and WILDLIFE. If your date doesn\u2019t like this then it\u2019s probably worth just giving them the boot\u2026.<\/p>

Picnic on Herring Island<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>

Grab the cheese, quince paste and crackers because we\u2019re going for a picnic darling…<\/p>

I\u2019ve been here 7 years (yes I\u2019m that old, hard to believe right?!) and only heard about Herring Island a few weeks back, so what is it?<\/p>

Well, it\u2019s a tiny but picturesque island consisting of cute gardens dotted with some pretty impressive sculptures made purely from natural materials<\/em>. It also has an all-important picnic area. It\u2019s as if they knew you were coming!<\/p>

Here you are: thoughtful, in the know, cool and well researched\u2026 oh you\u2019re everything I want, just take me now!<\/p>

NOTE: Ferry is $2 (your shout remember!). The punt leaves from Como Landing (Melways ref Map 58, G2). Car parking is\u00a0available on Alexandra Ave.<\/p>

It only leaves Sat\/Sun and public holidays between 11am-5pm.<\/p>

Dumplings <\/strong><\/h2>

Grabbing those delicate little balls (not those ones!) of joy that we call dumplings is well and truly part of the Melbourne way. It\u2019s not a big thing but something that\u2019s just done at the drop of a hat as a Melbourne norm.<\/p>

So that\u2019s why suggesting a dumpling bar down a random laneway is a f*%$ing cool thing to do for a first date. You look like you\u2019re the happening, in the know kid and your suggestion is just you throwing out another one of your regular haunts. Go one step further and pretend you know the waiter. Don\u2019t get too cocky though, it gets awkward when you try speaking Mandarin. Try Empress of China or China Red for some firm favourites of ours.<\/span><\/p>

Comedy Club<\/strong><\/h2>

This is pretty old school but it\u2019s a good icebreaker for sure. It\u2019s the cooler, more mature and less awkward version of going to the cinema. It should<\/em> be a funny night and they’re often in bars you never knew or in parts of town you were unaware of. I didn\u2019t even realise until writing this, the Comedy Club is a real door opener isn\u2019t it? It\u2019s the gateway drug to being a more-well versed socialite.<\/p>

Personal recommendations includ Spleen<\/a> (Bourke St, CBD), The Local<\/a> (Carlisle St, St Kilda East) and North Melbourne Comics Lounge<\/a>.<\/p>

2-for-1 Cocktails at Pablo Honey<\/strong><\/h2>

Maybe some would say there\u2019s something a bit tacky about taking a first date to somewhere for a 2-for-1 deal and that would be right if you were taking them to Subway or 7\/11 for a coffee. I reckon it\u2019s more than acceptable when it\u2019s a rather fancy establishment offering high quality goods, and that\u2019s what Pablo Honey<\/a> does, just at the bottom of Acland St. It\u2019s got an outrageously long list of impressive cocktails and they\u2019re 2-for-1 from 4pm-7pm, Mon-Fri.<\/p>

Now you know it\u2019s at the bottom of Acland St yeah? You know what\u2019s close yeah? And then you know what\u2019s also close yeah? That\u2019s right, finish the cocktail (last order at 6.59pm, every time!), head to the promenade for sunset and walk to the penguins for ultimate date success.<\/p>

Ohhhh you\u2019ve done it, you\u2019ve nailed the date with TWO of these non-bank-busting ideas.<\/p>

Be careful though, you\u2019re setting the bar very high here\u2026<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
