• A scenic lookout / waterfront / main park walk-and-talk (daytime is great for first meets).
• Quick dessert date: gelato, pastries, or hot chocolate in winter.
• Mini activity date: trivia night, arcade, or a simple board-game café.
• A public market or local shopping strip—easy conversation starters everywhere.
