If the two of you can't quite agree on the cuisine of choice for your date, opt for both Italian with a French twist at Fleur de Lis Pizza . A local favorite for over twenty years, enjoy hand-made pizza with a wide choice of toppings in a casual, retro-style atmosphere. The sodas and beers are so cold, you won't need a glass, and if you think you'd like to have half of your pizza later at home with your date, the friendly staff will half-bake your Roman pizza pie so you can keep it in your freezer and warm it up later.

You can actually feed and touch the animals when you take the guided safari tour. Just reach out and touch a fascinating world of nature.

The Varsity Theatre is a familiar place for several well-known performers. As a matter of fact, a total of 55 Grammy winners have graced its stage since 1991.
