9. Try some New Flavors – Irving has one of the most diverse zip codes in the US, so you’re able to find some incredible restaurants featuring cuisines around the world. Create a list of your own, or check out some of the ones below, and work your way across all the different countries. Maybe even watch a video or do some research beforehand. One of my favorite things is to see if Anthony Bourdain has featured that country and watch it first or watch No Passport Required where they talk about the food in each country. Some great places to visit include Lola’s Kitchen (African Food), Everest (Nepalese Food), El Tesoro (Peruvian Food), and Empamundo (Argentinean Food).
10. Go For Wine Tasting – Nosh and Bottle is a cute little market with wines and cheeseboards that you can order for a casual, yet romantic, Irving date night. Plus on Tuesdays they have their wine tasting nights.
