Fall is in the air and so are all the cozy feelings. Providence and nearby destinations offer special events to make a date night more festive. Here are my favorite ideas to pencil in your date night itineraries for both proximate and off-campus adventures.

Partake in a haunted boat tour with warm apple cider
Watch your favorite fall movie with freshly baked healthier pumpkin cookies
Take the ferry to Newport, Rhode Island & get gelato hand-in-hand at Cold Fusion

Make a simple yet sweet apple dessert of your choice such as sautéed apples à la mode

Go Apple Picking at the Dame Farm Orchards
Celebrate the Halloween season at the Spooktacular Zoo Night at Roger Williams Park
Plan a picnic at Prospect Park with seasonal treats

Opt for pumpkin-flavored anything and everything from Trader Joes!

Take a sunset stroll around the Providence River on the way to dinner at Pasta Beach in Wayland
