Have you met someone special and find yourselves in the exciting “getting to know each other” stage? If so, the perfect place for a casual and romantic outing is the London Docks. Take a leisurely stroll along the boardwalk, which has so much to offer. Enjoy a beautiful view of the water, catch a charming live performance by a talented dog and its human, and explore a variety of places to eat, snack, or grab a drink.
Feeling hungry? Stop by Nominos, known for having the best pizza in Woodcrest! They offer a wide range of options—from a hot, gooey cheese pizza to a fresh veggie pizza topped with produce from the local farmers’ market. Craving something heartier? Try the meat lovers’ pizza, loaded with perfectly placed toppings on every slice. Not in the mood for pizza? No problem! Nominos also serves wings and fresh salads, so there’s something for everyone.
Just looking for a drink? Stop by the ever-popular Starpugs. Yes, Woodcrest has more than one, but the one on the boardwalk offers the same fantastic service as the campus location at Woodcrest University. Choose to relax by the cafe or head upstairs for a stunning rooftop view. In warmer months, cool off with one of their handcrafted cold drinks—my favorite is the Caramel Frappe. They also serve refreshers and limited-time seasonal beverages. When it’s chilly, cozy up with a hot tea or a custom-crafted latte. I personally love a hot white chocolate mocha with extra whipped cream. No matter the season, take a moment to create a drink that speaks to you.
Craving something sweet for your romantic walk? Stop by Ruth’s Frozen Banana Treats, where frozen desserts are centered around—yes, bananas! But that’s not all they offer. Just walk up to the window, and one of their friendly staff members will guide you through selecting an unforgettable treat.
After indulging in all the boardwalk has to offer, find a bench, sit back, and enjoy the adorable live performance by the dog and their talented human. With a little planning, you might even be able to tip the duo to perform something special for your date. Who knows? This just might be the start of something lasting.
