A romantic date doesn't have to be elaborate. Sometimes, a stroll in the park and a relaxing picnic is the perfect way for the two of you to focus on each other while enjoying Birmingham's natural beauty. A great place to do that is Vulcan Park. The site's focal point is the largest cast-iron statue in the world and it was created for the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. There are activities for kids and families, but the park is lush and expansive enough for you two to find a quiet out-of-the-way spot to enjoy each other's company.

The grooves are still spinning at Charlemagne Record Exchange in Birmingham. The staff gets kudos for not only being extremely knowledgeable, but they are uproariously funny and always try to help you find what you're looking for. And there is plenty of vinyl through which you can rummage. Various LPs and 45s are stocked, and you will want to flip though them all—you never know what you will find. If you select a few discs that you would like to preview, the listening station complete with a turntable and headphones will allow you spin it before you take it home!

Every city has a Cheers-style bar, and in Birmingham, it's Lou's Pub & Package Store. This local favorite finds people from all walks of life gathering around the bar and enjoying a few beverages while talking about their day. Patio seating is available, and in addition to featuring an impressively stocked bar, Lou's is also famous for its fine homemade cigars. This haunt has been a part of the area's nightlife since 1987, so make sure to take the time to stop in!

The theatrical tradition of drama, comedy and music is alive and well at Birmingham's Alys Robinson Stephens Performing Arts Center. This is the city's premier performance art and entertainment venue that consistently presents one must-see performance after another. Some recent guests to the center's stage include Al Pacino, Colin Quinn, and Ricky Scaggs. This is also the home of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra. So don't wait—get your ticket for that upcoming show before it's sold out!
