Girls Just Wanna Have Fun... (And a Babysitter!)

Our Top 5 Picks for Date Nights or Girls’ Night Out

Weekend of: March 21st - March 23rd, 2025

I’m SO excited to launch this new series just for parents like us. Honestly, I can't even count how many nights I’ve spent endlessly Googling things like “date night ideas near me” or “girls’ night spots in Foxboro or Walpole,” only to come up short or feel like I’d have to drive 45 minutes just to find a decent margarita. This series is here to help, with real local recommendations, fresh ideas, and places that actually understand how valuable those kid-free hours are.

We adore our kids, but let’s be honest: sometimes a night without chicken nuggets or bedtime stories is exactly what we need. Whether you're planning a romantic evening with your partner or a fun night with your best friends, these local favorites are perfect for both. From cozy dinners and craft cocktails to vibrant atmospheres made for laughs and connection, these spots are your go-to for relaxing and recharging.

2. Themed Movie Marathon

4. Game Night with a Twist
   Grab a few board games or play trivia, card games, or conversation starters. It’s a fun way to laugh, connect, and do something different at home.
