Cheap dates in Philly

This 880 word piece covers cheap dates in Philadelphia, particularly focused on college students, for College Clipper.

Dating can quickly get expensive and when you’re a college student, the word “expensive” just cannot exist in your vocabulary. You’ve likely got student loans and you’re probably low on spending money anyway. But even though dating can be a strain on your wallet, it doesn’t have to be. If you don’t mind doing some walking, here are some ideas that will make your next date in Philadelphia an affordable one:

For the artsy couple:
You’re going to take a trip to the Rodin Museum on the Parkway. Admission is pay-as-you-wish although a donation of $5 is suggested. Rodin, a French artist known for his statue “The Thinker” but also, and more romantically, “The Kiss.” Recreate this piece of Rodin’s work. You are on a date, aren’t you? Once you’re done at the museum, head over to The Rose Tattoo Café for lunch. It usually cost around $10 for a lunch entrée. After you’ve had your fill, walk to the intersection of Spring Garden and Broad Streets. On the northeast corner you’ll see a big mural that incorporates kids reenacting famous artworks. Engage in a conversation about the murals in Philly.
