A loud, cheap evening that isn't a bar
Sometimes you don't want an intimate table for two. You want noise, street food, and to not be the main event — which is its own kind of easy.

Before you go
Eat something small first. The whole plan falls apart if you arrive starving and fill up at the first stall you see.
- First 90 minutes
A street food lane or night market — somewhere you eat standing up
Small portions, many stops, share everything. Never a full plate of one thing.
The bit that matters: Let each of you pick one thing the other has to try. It's a low-stakes way to find out how adventurous someone actually is.
- After
Somewhere quiet within walking distance — a park, a promenade, a quiet street
Walk it off. The contrast is what makes the evening — the quiet lands much harder straight after the noise.
The bit that matters: This is when the actual conversation happens. The food part was the warm-up.
What to eat
Street food, split across as many stalls as you can manage. Volume of variety over quality of any single thing.
Take this with you
The Funny deck fits this evening better than Deep Talk. Read them out between stalls.
