We’ve asked our readers about their favorite places for cheap dates in the past, so this year we decided to poll everyone on where they like to go for a fancy night out on the town where money is no object (or less of an object at least). Overwhelmingly, the response fell into two categories: places to eat, and places to see a show of some sort. Most of the dinner date restaurants named were already given praise in our fine dining list earlier this week, so rather than repeating them all over again, we listed all of the options that excluded those duplicates, and paired the top dining results with the top entertainment results. We hope that you find the final list both fairly representative of the results and a fun way to brainstorm new things to do in 2015:
