Here are 10 carefully-curated ideas for your next date-night in Gurgaon.
Everyone’s dating checklist has a tiny box marked ‘Funny’. What’s a better way to test your humour-compatibility than to enlist for a night of stand-up comedy?

With a cup of coffee, of course. Gurgaon’s brimming with cute cafés that make for easy conversations and perfect first dates. Fall in love over waffles, establish if you’re on team tea or coffee, and just let the chips fall where they may.
We’re loving the idea of a quick getaway at Café Wanderlust. The food is inspired by different parts of the country and, in fact, the world. With all the travel stories you could share, anything could be a great conversation starter during your time here.
Some other options you could also check out are Another Fine Day, Di Ghent’s or The Mad Teapot/The Wishing Chair. Find more options here.
Stroll through an art gallery as you discover that the city is more than just office spaces. Try and decode what the artist is trying to say as you engage in arguments about mind, matter, and everything in between. Start at Gallerie Alternatives and work your way around. They have some of the big names on display to gawk at, and, as you soak up the art around, you can even expect to share a definite moment together.
If a quiet, and chill Valentine's Day is what you had in mind, art galleries are a good place to start.
