“Four more years!” were the words we were chanting all week.
Our eyes were glued to this week’s event of all events, the American election. A very conservative Mitt Romney took to the polls against the incumbent Barack Obama and we congratulated a worthy winner early yesterday morning.
Inspired by the week’s events, naturally, this week our Date Night had to be related to that of the US presidential election.
Our plan is to grab the other half and head for a night of burgers, milkshakes and Bruce Springsteen jukebox tunes.
Let’s call it a night of experiencing some stars and stripes culture!
Get dolled up and out for a US-style dinner date this weekend with your other half and we’ve done the Googling for you.
Still like that old time rock n’ roll…
See below a list of the best diner-style restaurants around the country…
