Are you looking for romantic date-night ideas in Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and the greater Triangle community? Memorable restaurants, cultural experiences, special events, great places to get outdoors? Every Friday morning at 8:30, Aaron Keck and his husband Brad Bednar go on 97.9 The Hill and offer their recommendations during “Date Night” on This Morning with Aaron Keck. Click here to listen back to all their past segments – and tune in to This Morning every Friday at 8:30 to hear “Date Night” live on the air.

A new date-night spot has just opened in downtown Chapel Hill: Proximo, the third restaurant from chef Brandon Sharp (Bluebird, Hawthorne & Wood). How is it?

Brad and Aaron offer their thoughts after their first trip to the new restaurant – or the second, in Aaron’s case. The verdict? The food is great, the setting is nice – still recognizable but renovated from its earlier incarnation as Ye Olde Waffle Shoppe – and if you’re worried about parking, honestly, you really, really, really shouldn’t be.

Also, Brad and Aaron offer their review of the new Bull Durham musical, which just wrapped up a (pre-Broadway?) run at Duke. Not really a date-night recommendation, since the run is over – but Aaron notes that there are other theatrical events around town that are still ongoing.
