Mini golf and a cup of joe
make date feel expensive
■ Miniature golf and pie:
big on entertainment but
easy on the wallet
By Mason West
Oregon Daily Emerald
It’s Thursday night, you’ve got
an attractive member of the oppo
site sex at your beck and call, but
you’re on a tight budget. What do
you do?
How does an exciting evening
of physical activity and culinary
delights sound? What if it only
cost $15? Are we on the same
page here?
This wonderful evening can be
yours, and it’s all too easy. Start
off the night with a good round of
miniature golf. “Miniature golf,”
you say. “I haven’t done that since
my seventh birthday.” Come on,
regain your lost youth. Miniature
golf can be the perfect date activi
ty
Forgive me ladies, but I have to
speak from a male perspective for
a minute. There are endless op
portunities to play it cool in this
situation. First, no matter what,
you must lose the game. Even if
she actually beats you, pretend
like you lost on purpose. Second,
if it’s cold out, you can give her
your coat. Third, you can talk
while waiting for other people.
Fourth, if she needs a little coach
ing you are definitely there to
help.
There are two places to play
miniature golf in the area: Camp
Putt and Putt N Video. Camp Putt,
located on 4006 Franklin Blvd.,
has a beautiful outdoor course
and costs $4.75 per person.
Downside: they aren’t open on
Monday or Tuesday. Putt N
Video, located on 1300
Mowhawk Blvd. in Springfield, is
cheaper, only $2.75 per person,
and stays open later. Downside:
the course is indoors. For me, that
really kills the mood. But if you
want to give it a shot, call 741
9828 and 726-9664 respectively
for hours and directions.
So you’ve broken the ice, and
killed enough time that it’s now 9
p.m. You and your date drive over
to Marie Callender’s for pie and
coffee. And it’s only gonna cost
$5.
After 9 p.m. the restaurant, lo
cated near Valley River Center at
1300 Valley River Drive, has a
pie-and-coffee special for $2. Two
people X $2 + tip = $5. Wow.
Wait, I just gave a $1 tip, is that
OK? Why yes it is, that’s a whop
ping 25 percent tip. You can feel
free to leave the official 15 per
cent, but hear me out: The server
is doing a hard job for your sim
ple pie and coffee. How many
times, will they have to come back
to fill your cup? They deserve a
little extra. Plus, it’ll make you
look like a big spender in front of
your date.
Marie Callender’s is notorious
for its incredible pies, and they
are still just as good after 9 p.m.
However, the restaurant is not as
well-known for its coffee. So this
is a warning to coffee snobs of all
ages: go to Allann Bros instead.
But even if the coffee’s not great,
the pie’s so damn good you can’t
complain.
A note on the pies: know what
you’re getting into. There are so
many choices, 28 to be precise,
that one could get bogged down.
(The last thing you want is to look
indecisive in front of a date.) Be
fore you go you should at least
have your pie choice narrowed
down to one of the four cate
gories: traditional favorites, cream
pies, sour cream pies, or special
ty pies.
Another note: the pie-and-cof
fee special does not include ice
cream. If you want your slice a la
mode, it’ll cost an extra $1.39. It’s
best to know ahead of time in case
you need more help than Mr. Lin
coln can provide, if you know
what I mean.
Upon entering the restaurant, it
helps to let the server know that
you are only intending to have
the pie and coffee special. They
will seat you, typically, in a booth
as there are many available after
nine. From this booth, you can
look out on the restaurant’s exten
sive collection of books, ranging
from “Objective Accounting” to
“The Cautious Overshoes.” Per
haps you’ll find one that both you
and your date have read.
Tbe rustic atmosphere of Marie
Callender’s provides an end for
the perfect first date — it’s a great
place to go to get to know some
one newr, and it feels more homey
than a coffee shop, another typi
cal date activity. Plus you get pie.
For more information, call
Marie Callender’s at 484-7111.
