A Dalí-Inspired Date Night in Downtown St. Pete

Looking to elevate your typical dinner-and-a-movie date night? Downtown St. Petersburg offers a blend of world-class art and culinary excellence that makes for an unforgettable evening.

This summer, the anchor to the perfect culturally-enriching date night is The Dalí Museum.

The Surreal Start

Begin your evening at The Dalí Museum. With the opening of the "Dalí in America" exhibition on May 9th, there is entirely new material to explore, chronicling Salvador Dalí's fascinating relationship with the United States.

After taking in the masterworks, immerse yourselves in the Dalí Alive 360° Immersive Experience, housed in the stunning Dalí Dome. It's a mesmerizing, multisensory journey that provides plenty of conversation starters for dinner.

The Art of the Meal

After stretching your minds at the museum, it's time to indulge your palates.

• Rococo Steak: Housed in a gorgeous 1920s neoclassical building, Rococo Steak isn't your traditional, stuffy steakhouse. It's chic, modern, and offers a revolutionary take on steak and wine. The dimly lit, elegant atmosphere is peak date-night material.
• Christiane's Wine Bar: If you prefer something a bit more intimate, head to Christiane's. It's sophisticated and cozy, offering a phenomenal selection of wines by the glass and curated charcuterie boards. It's the perfect spot to dissect your favorite Dalí paintings over a glass of Bordeaux.

Keep the Inspiration Flowing

• Chihuly Collection: If you want to make it a full day of art before dinner, pair your Dalí visit with the Chihuly Collection on Central Avenue. Dale Chihuly's mind-bending glass sculptures provide a colorful, contemporary counterpoint to Dalí's surrealism.

A date night in St. Pete should be as dynamic and vibrant as the city itself.
