Under Budget, Over Expectations

Why this works

This whole night comes in around $37 a person — well under your budget — and none of it feels like a compromise. Woodhaven is the kind of park that locals drive past for years before actually stopping, and starting there gives the night a grounded, unhurried quality that makes Born to Shake feel like a treat rather than a given. Moo-Lix is the right closer: it's casual, it's a little nostalgic, and ending an anniversary night with ice cream on Pandosy is quietly its own kind of romantic.
