Cheesy I know, but I want to plan a date with my husband for next weekend. What are some ideas that we can do that aren't going to cost us a lot of money?

Re: Inexpensive Date Ideas?
Where do you live? In Suffolk (I think it is in Bohemia) there is a public zoo with tigers and bears...About a mile from Sunrise. It's a lot of fun, and free. I also love to go to the arboretum...You could pack a picnic...At the Bayard Cutting there is a private island you walk over a bridge to get to. It's always deserted and so peaceful...I'll think of others!

Well Flushing meadows park is really nice and the queens zoo is right there so if you have good weather you can pack a picnic, go to the park and then go to the queens zoo. The zoo is not that expensive.
There is also a marina nearby flushing meadow, but I don't know if that's free. you would have to find out.
