Date Ideas in SoHo: 6 Elevated Ideas For A Romantic Evening

SoHo’s artsy hustle and bustle make a date in this small but storied neighborhood an unforgettable sensory experience that cannabis may amplify. The plant’s energizing, uplifting, and creative effects may be equally perfect for intimate and packed SoHo settings shared with your SO, galentine, or pal-entine. As you get lost in the plant’s signature inspiring vibes, get lost in these SoHo date ideas too.

1. Dress each other up at New York Or Nowhere

Expand the possibilities of what a date can be at New York Or Nowhere, where you’ll have tons of fun choosing New York sports-themed apparel for each other. From unofficial Knicks windbreakers to stylish Yankees-inspired crewnecks, this less-traveled boutique offers all the options you need to assemble Big Apple-chic outfits. To level up your creativity when putting your looks together, light up with butter’s Durban Poison x Triangle Kush pre-rolls as you stroll over from the Spring St 6 stop.

2. Gander at minimalist art at The New York Earth Room

Located just a few blocks south of Washington Square Park near the NYU campus, The New York Earth Room is the third Earth Room sculpture by the artist Walter De Maria. The installation is managed by Dia, which is best known for its iconic museum in Beacon (a great destination for an NYC fall day trip). It comprises 250 cubic yards of 22-inch-deep earth, scattered across 3,600 square feet. Before your visit, treat yourself to one piece each of an incredibles Empire State Bar to immerse yourselves in the installation together.

3. Enjoy a quiet Korean dinner at YUBU SoHo

Located next to the Canal St A/C/E and 1 stops, as well as the Holland Tunnel, YUBU SoHo is a great date-night spot for both New Yorkers and folks across the Hudson. As a small restaurant that gets less foot traffic than the big-name nearby spots, it cultivates a serene balance of tranquility and that classic big-city air.

The bibimbap and a la carte menus at YUBU are highlights, and the rejuvenating specialty coffees and fruit beverages may take you far when infused with Off Hours Super Lemon Haze syrup. If you’ve taken the Holland Tunnel in for date night, stash your syrup with an NY friend before going back — it’s illegal to bring cannabis products across state lines.

4. Sip Yemeni coffee at Haraz

Haraz is the rare café that’s open into the wee hours — midnight Sunday through Thursday, 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday — making it an ideal spot for an evening coffee date. Its SoHo location is currently its only NYC spot, though Haraz has earned somewhat of a national reputation for serving divine Yemeni coffee. Stir a dose of Doctor Solmon’s Unwind Tincture into your beverage to settle deep into this café’s shiny ambiance.

5. Get a mani-pedi at SoHo Nails

An especially great date idea for Galentine’s Day, heading to SoHo Nails for a mani-pedi is the ultimate in self-care and style. Make your nails pop with a gel manicure, or opt for the callus eliminator pedicure to smooth things out. For maximum serenity, pair your pedicure with PAX’s Guava Gelato all-in-one vape. Both of you (or, for a galentine’s gaggle, all of you) taking a pull before you arrive may help you feel especially relaxed and dreamy together.

6. Lean into your sweet tooth at the Museum of Ice Cream

At the Museum of Ice Cream, the titular American dessert is more than a stunning sight — it’s also fully on the menu. Time here with your SO (or gal pal, or pal-entine) uniquely combines a museum date and the moment after a dinner date when you go for dessert to keep the vibes going. The museum is also right near the Prince St R/W stop and The Travel Agency – SoHo, so visit us beforehand to grab a Rosa Reta Dosed Roses all-in-one vape. It’s known to promote energy, creativity, and calm, all of which are perfect for a date this whimsical.

Four quick tips for pairing cannabis and SoHo date ideas

To have the best possible time incorporating cannabis into your SoHo date night, be patient when consuming cannabis, get your date’s consent, keep it discreet, and ask the experts which products to buy.

Start low and go slow. This classic cannabis advice simply means to consume a small dose of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), then wait for your product’s onset time to pass before consuming more. It’s always better to take more time getting where you’re going than overshooting it from the jump and landing somewhere less enjoyable.

Tell your date you’ll be consuming. Clarity and honesty always make for better romance. If you’ll be taking an edible beforehand or lighting up along the way, let your date know. Better yet, buy enough of your cannabis product for two to elevate your shared experience.

Consume on the DL. You can consume cannabis in much of NYC, but not nearly all of it. Only smoke or vape where it’s allowed, or choose edibles, beverage enhancers, or tinctures to keep your consumption discreet from the get-go.

Shop at a licensed dispensary with knowledgeable budtenders. When there are two or more of you sharing a cannabis experience, expert input is paramount. Swing by The Travel Agency – SoHo to get our budtenders’ help deciding which products might best suit you and your group, even if that group is just two. Unforgettable adventures lie just around the corner.
