A night out in Park Slope / Gowanus
Something to do first, then dinner to talk about it.
12 spots · Jump to the list
Doing something together beats sitting across a table, at least to start: a shared activity gives you something to react to, and it takes the pressure off the conversation. This list runs the whole range — a gallery or a show, a kayak or a climbing wall, a comedy set, the zoo — and every one of them sets up dinner afterwards. Check hours and booking before you go; the popular ones sell out on weekends.
This guide ranks 12 activities in Park Slope / Gowanus. Editors' picks come first, then the rest by rating, and the plans below build a whole evening around the best of them.
