New Ideas to Shake-Up Girls-Night-Out
It’s girls-night-out: a time to laugh louder, act sillier, and talk about anything and everything (nothing's off-limits). What do you have planned? If you’re like me and my friends, it’s the same old table, at the same old restaurant.

Why not shake-up girls-night-out and try something different: choose a new stomping ground that has a little interactivity, stick to the usual venue but add a theme for the night, or transform girls-night-out into girls-night-in?
Try a new interactive stomping ground, such as a…
- Pottery studio: some places invite you to B.Y.O.B. In Ithaca, New York visit dynamicpatterns.com for a girls-night-out.
- Comedy show: there’s always one around, visit http://www.citysearch.com
- Karaoke bar: even if you don’t partake it’s a great place to people-watch
- Wine tasting: sip and act sophisticated, well you can try…
- Sampling of new and exotic cuisine: think Cuban or Indian fare
- Dinner theatre: friends, food and drama, a perfect girls-night-out
- Casino or dog track: you might not know what you’re doing but that’s half the fun
- Minor league baseball game: you don’t have to be sports fans to enjoy the excitement of an outdoor game plus it's great for people-watching
- Bowling lane: make it even more memorable and fun with your own team shirts
- Rented van or chauffeured limo: such as www.Bustonian.com in the Boston area, www.girlsnightout.net in Virginia or do a web-search for ‘girls-night-out transportation’
- Jazz club: relax and enjoy the good vibrations
- Spa night: think manicures and martinis, call around to find a spa that has what you're looking for
- Group dance lesson: add some flavor to your steps with Salsa and dips
Same spot, new twist, meet for…

Girls-night-in, try a...
