Dating in City Centre and Grainger Town
In shortThe centre is where most of Tyneside meets in the middle, with the Metro, the buses and the main stations all close by. Grainger Town's stone streets give you plenty of places to sit down and talk. It is easy to keep a first meeting short, or let it run into dinner.
A first date idea
A free hour at the Laing
The Laing Art Gallery on New Bridge Street is free to enter and needs no booking, though one big exhibition carries a charge. It is open Monday to Saturday, 10am to 4.30pm, and Café Laing on the ground floor is there if you want a coffee after.
