Dallas offers romance in abundance for couples celebrating anniversaries.
Anniversaries not only celebrate your life as a couple, but also keep the romance alive for the many more years to follow. The city of Dallas features an abundance of romantic places, many of which are perfect for rekindling your commitment and honoring the beginning of your relationship. Whether it's your first year together or your 50th, consider floating 12,000 feet above the city skyline or dining at one of the most romantic restaurants Dallas has to offer.
Hot Air Balloon Rides
Spend time with your sweetheart at 2,000 feet above the city of Dallas and the surrounding areas. Dallas Hot Air Balloon Rides offers a champagne flight that includes a complimentary bottle of champagne and a departure time to suit your needs. Watch the sun rise or set over Dallas and experience the city from calm skies while snuggling with your lover.
Dallas Hot Air Balloon Rides' experienced pilots can take you on short or long rides and will help set up the most romantic memorable event for your anniversary. The company urges passengers to dress according to the weather; however, keep in mind that being 2,000 feet above the ground can be chilly, depending on the season and time of day.
Avanti Ristorante
If searching for a romantic restaurant in Dallas, consider taking your sweetheart to Avanti Ristorante, located in the uptown area. Book a table for two that sits in an intimate dining area surrounded by dark colored wood and leather furniture. Live music is played every night of the week, adding to the restaurant's romantic ambiance.
Start the evening by ordering the restaurant's finest bottle of champagne, Louis Roederer Cristal of France, while sampling tasty appetizers such as melon-wrapped Prosciutto and jumbo-lump crab cakes. For the main course, treat your sweetheart to some of Northern and Southern Italy's most popular dishes, such as Brazilian lobster tail and grilled tenderloin of beef topped with mixed mushrooms, spinach and Gorgonzola cheese.
The Dallas Symphony Orchestra
For a more traditional anniversary celebration, attend a concert by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra in Meyerson Symphony Center. Start your evening out by dining in one of the center's restaurants such as Opus and Allegro that both serve a large selection of Italian and Mediterranean cuisines.
After dinner, stroll up to the main orchestra hall and listen to a symphony concert that could include Beethoven's "Triumph," Brahms' "German Requiem" and Frank Heidelberger's "Vive La France." The Meyerson Symphony Center recommends patrons check their website to determine upcoming concert listings (see Resources).
After the show, surprise your lady by taking a tour of downtown Dallas with a romantic horse and carriage ride. Belle Starre Carriages can pick you up from Meyerson Symphony Center and allow you and your love one to spend intimate moments while seeing downtown sites. Belle Starre Carriages requests lovebirds contact the company via website so it can help make your anniversary a special one.
