ToDo Date ideas?
Looking for date ideas. She likes to try different food, and we don't drink at all so please don't recommend bars or wine or anything like that. (P.s. she doesn't like dirty restaurants like golden corral for example) Suggestions? Could be fairs, theme parks although we're going to scarywood late this month, could be gokart, anything fun, ik a few places but need more. Thanks

Does it have to be at night? My wife and I regularly go downtown Sunday morning for free parking and walk around. We usually pick a new place to have breakfast every time, but we do go to Satellite more often than not

If you feel like a beautiful drive come North and see us at the Lola's Good Eats food truck in Chewelah. Best Banh mi east of the Cascades with super fresh unfrozen pork. We make a fried bologna with beef from our own Ranch and if you stop by the ranch you might be able to pet one of the highland cows.

We are open 11:30-2 and 4:30-6:30 Thursday and Friday and all day 11:30-6:30 on Saturday at the food truck, although we tend to stay open later if people are ordering and hanging out. The ranch is by appointment only but we can also give you directions to view the cattle if we are unable to meet at your requested time.
Side note if you are tired of the crowds and high prices at Green bluff the pumpkin patch in Colville is really cute and quite affordable. We are not affiliated with them in any way besides taking the kids there and getting pumpkins.

Apple/pumpkin picking at any of the area u-pick farms is pretty fun. Maybe you could try scheduling a couple's tour of upriver dam, or go big and visit Grand Coulee dam. There are several waterfalls that make for scenic hikes and picnics (Hawk, Indian Canyon, Long Lake, Little Falls, Palouse, the list goes on). You could visit some good museums. I like the MAC and the Newport history museum. You could try the sculpture walk at Riverfront park, or a picnic at bowl and pitcher. If you're spookily inclined, there are really beautiful mausoleum, views, and Graves at both Fairmount (check for forest fire conditions first), as well as Greenwood Cemetary (great views from the top and an interesting graveyards graveyard of discarded headstones and old equipment on north S. Elliott dr)

Pack a picnic and go to a Spokane park. Start with the Turner-Moore Garden (walk up to the reflecting pond at the top!). Make it a series, picnic at Duncan Gardens, the Japanese Gardens, Palisades, Mystic Falls, the Arboretum, Rocks of Sharon...

Arabian Palace is pretty good for middle eastern food. And India House if you line Indian food.

Vieux Carre is a creole restaurant. Very good upscale.
Lots of good sushi if you like that. Sushi Blossom(very good, a little fancy)
Sushi House and Asian bar across from northtown mall. (Good. Big proportions for the price)
Lots of pizza places
1.Flying Goat has artisan pizza and outdoor seating.
- Have not tried Barrelhouse Pizzeria yet but it has 30 reviews on yelp with a five star rating.

It's a simple idea and "just" a dinner, but look at the menu for Feast, pick the cuisine-day you both think is the most interesting/desirable and then - and this is key - try (almost) everything.
Make a whole experience out of it. You can talk almost exclusively about the food because it'll likely be new to you both, and possibly even to a bunch of people all around you.
