The recipe for the perfect date comprises three essential ingredients - a whole lot of conversation, with a sprinkle of food, topped with a dressing of entertainment. Here’s how you can cook up the perfect date to make the most of this season!

1. The Icebreaker
   
   If you’ve been in or around Mumbai, you’ve certainly  heard of the famous ‘Nariman Point’ and all its glamorous beauty. It’s where most love stories begin, puppies run free, and the ocean meets the sky - needless to say, it’s the ideal location for a romantic date. Kick off your date with a breezy stroll along the sea and let the sunset guide your conversation, it’s  the perfect icebreaker! Your conversation can sail pretty smoothly from adoring Mumbai’s evergrowing skyline, to the busy streets of maximum city. Work up an appetite as you amble down the waterfront so that you’re both ready for phase two - the meal.
