This is a very solid idea for an activity in Queens. There are 25 pool tables, four ping pong tables, a foosball table and two air hockey tables, as well as some arcades. The charge is based on the time you spend at each activity. The crowd is very decent, though very casual. You can park across 70th St in front of Bowlero.

Dave & Busters at Source Mall

Westbury, NY 11590
(516) 542-8501
The Dave and Busters in the Source Mall is a good place to go on a date if you are going out with a Far Rockaway or 5 Towns girl. I've always had a pleasant experience there, in terms of the other guests and the noise level. Generally, it's most quiet in the middle of the day. The worst I've ever encountered there were a bat-mitzvah party and my wife's neighbors.

Artrageous

5 North Village Avenue
Rockville Centre, NY 11570-4701
(516) 255-5255
Artrageous is located about 20 minutes from Far Rockaway (it's a little closer coming from 5 Towns). The prices in Artrageous may be a little more expensive then some other pottery places but on the plus side they do have a nice selection, it's a quiet place where it is easy to work, and the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable.
Pottery Places: At a pottery place you paint a ceramic object of your choice like a bowl or a mug or something like that. It usually takes one to two hours to complete. Pottery places are good for later dates when you are presuming (or hoping) that you will still be dating around 2 weeks later when you can pick up the items you painted. That being said, you shouldn't save a "pottery date" until you are definitely getting engaged, because if you both enjoy the activity it can certainly advance your dating. Pottery is also a good date for engaged or married couples as it's nice and relaxing, it lets you be creative, and you leave with something for your home. Everyone should try it at least once; you never know, maybe you are more artistic than you think!
