Review
Think you can't afford to go out on a dinner date anymore? Think again. You can transform the Whole Foods Market in Columbus Circle into your own private romantic dinner locale - and you can do it all for under $20. No joke.

The Columbus Circle Whole Foods, located underground as you walk in through the main entrance of the Time Warner building, boasts a large seating area. Buy a whole herb rotisserie chicken ($7.99), a loaf of delicious Stirrata ($2.99 - the butter packets are free!), and some pre-cut vegetables ($4.99) and you'll be eating large on the cheap. Make sure you bring with you a white table cloth, and buy a bouquet a roses as soon as you walk into the supermarket. Once you've paid, head over to a table, set it, and enjoy!

Sure people will look at you funny, but they're probably all thinking the same thing - wow, that couple is creative and self-assured. When you think about it, the Whole Foods date is as close to perfect as it gets -- it's perhaps the most original date idea we've ever come up with, it's most definitely low-pressure, it involves collaboration as you pick out the food together, conversation is inevitable given all the stares you'll receive, and lastly, white-tablecloth dinner with roses as a centerpiece? come on...that's beyond romantic.
