Need a Healthy Date Idea? 3 Websites That Make It Easy

It’s easy to fall into a date night routine--whether it's dinner and a movie or takeout and Netflix, we all have our go-to activities. Although a nice meal and a good movie are fun at first, they quickly lose novelty and all that food can add inches to your waist. So why not shake up your routine with a one-of-a-kind date that gets you and your partner up and moving? Try out one (or all!) of these websites for unique, fun, and active dates.

Sösh

Sösh is a free website that recommends activities in San Francisco and New York City. Members create a profile and fill out their favorite neighborhoods and interests, and then Sösh curates a personalized homepage of events, activities, and places. You can easily look for something active, like paddling the Orchard Beach Lagoon at Pelham Bay Park or dancing in Bryant Park, and then plan a date with help from the Sösh concierge or bookmark it for later. Not in San Fran or NYC? Sösh is coming soon to Chicago, Boston, and LA!
