Four Date Ideas to Get You Out of the Heat

New Orleans is typically hot in the summer months – even when, like recently, we have a lot of temporarily cooling rains. Summer feels like it lasts from April to October, but something about this summer feels extra toasty and humid.

If you’re like us, this makes you want to flee the outdoors and head to the nearest building or structure with plentiful cold air. So, what happens when you want to plan a date night with your honey, but don’t want to sweat through your cute new outfit?

We’ve got a few ideas to keeps you away from the heat while still bringing the fun.
