Empress Walk Theatre
Have a traditional evening out sharing a bucket of popcorn with your partner at the movies at the Cineplex Cinemas Empress Walk located at 5095 Yonge Street. Treat your date to the latest in critically or audience-acclaimed cinema such as the gripping drama I, Tonya; the racy Fifty Shades Freed; or the forthcoming action movie Black Panther (opens February 15).

Restaurants
Make reservations at North York hotspots like Mezza Notte Trattoria for authentic Italian food or The Keg Steakhouse + Bar for more standard dining options. For a more casual experience, the Union Social Eatery boasts a wide variety of signature entrees, salads, and gourmet burgers.

Improve your sense of wellbeing and your health by trying a fitness class with your partner at the GoodLife Fitness Centre or Moksha Yoga in North York. Sweating (or cursing) together will help you both form a special bond.
