Green Lake
Green Lake is the daylight date, and it earns that on purpose. The 2.8-mile loop around the lake is the actual first move: paddleboards from Green Lake Boathouse, a lap, and then Tangletown or the Latona for the post-walk pint. Mighty-O Donuts handles the sweet-tooth tier; Rosita's covers the margarita-and-enchilada answer to a long Sunday. It runs joggers-and-strollers wholesome, which is a feature if you want to read someone sober and a bug if you wanted candlelight. Best deployed as a brunch-or-afternoon date with an exit plan toward Fremont or Wallingford after dark.
