I want to go out this weekend with DH to celebrate my birthday. I cannot figure out where to go or what to do. Where would you go if you could? Nice dinner followed by dancing? Favorite bar? Tell me your go-to places and you get bonus points if you could do it all under $150.

Re: WWYD - Ideal Sat. Night out in Seattle w/DH?
We really enjoyed going to Piatti in the U Village for dinner, than up to Jet City Improv for a comedy show... very inexpensive and a fun date. Not super fancy, but a lot of fun.
I really like Jazz Alley, but that is more spendy. Same with Teatro Zinzanni.
So, this may be TOTALLY not your style, but I took my husband to this for his birthday a couple years ago and we had a blast, it's a burlesque show at the ACT Theater downtown:

I saw an ad that it was running this weekend so I thought of it. It is an adult show, but I thought it was really beautiful and kind of empowering - most of the ladies have curves and are super confident with their bodies and that was fun to see. Plus it was funny and they have acrobatic acts too. Tickets are only $25 so you could go for dinner beforehand downtown and still stick with your budget.
Just a thought!
