3 Holiday RomCom Worthy Date Ideas In Downtown Powell This Weekend!
We’ve all seen the cheesy holiday movies and we know the plot all too well. Big city person has a life altering breakup, loses their job, and is forced to move back to their small town where they meet the dreamiest person imaginable with a very respectable job. They hate each other at first but then they have this magical moment where they realize how amazing the other person is. Then some kind of extravagant job offer threatens to tear them apart but in the end they choose one another.
Plot twist.
You are the main character and Downtown Powell is your “small town”. Pretend you and your significant other are the main characters in “Merry and Bright: A Holiday Weekend In Powell”. What would be your “meet cute” (a meet cute is how two main characters in a rom com meet)? What would your date montage look like? What leaves you with new traditions and memories to last a lifetime?
I’m here to give you 3 Holiday RomCom Worthy Date Ideas In Downtown Powell!
A Very Merry Saturday Morning In Downtown Powell.
Start the day with a class at YogaSix (285 W Olentangy St) or make an appointment for Fire and Ice at Revive Wellness and Beauty (178 W Olentangy St).
You can then walk to Mr. Bean Coffee to start the Hot Chocolate Trail (or just grab a coffee). Sit and enjoy the ambiance inside for awhile.
Ok, your stomach is rumbling, time for brunch! Check out The Locust Table, Kraft House No. 5, or Anne’s Kitchen!
