Gettin' Some

The Red-White-and-Blue Date

What's more American than baseball, apple pie and sex? Show the spouse how much you love this country (and him/her) with an ultra-patriotic date set outside city limits.

Drinks: In the great tradition of American immigration, the ex-pat Ugly Oyster was built in Yorkshire, England, deconstructed, and rebuilt in Reading. The bar is stocked with more than 80 beers, and the gear shop sells Oyster-brand spanky pants. Rub it in the Brits' faces by snuffing the Boddington's and downing a Bud. 21 S. Fifth St., Reading, 610-373-6791, www.theuglyoyster.com.

Main Event: Nothing says romance like minor league baseball. Renew your wedding vows on the FirstEnergy Stadium infield and enter to win a trip for a second honeymoon to Vegas. You can even add to the china collection with a complimentary pint glass featuring the visage of dreamy former Phil' Darren Daulton. Although this won't be your first trip down the aisle, you still have the wedding night to look forward to, not to mention the right to make all the baseball-related double entendres you can think of. Reading Phillies vs. Erie SeaWolves, Fri., June 30, 6 p.m., $6-$9, FirstEnergy Stadium, 1900 Centre Ave., Reading, 610-375-8469, www.readingphillies.com.

Dinner: When buying peanuts and Cracker Jacks at the game gets too pricey, try Jimmie Kramer's Peanut Bar, where patrons are given their own legume stash for free. Jimmie Kramer's has been the local chamber's People's Choice for Best Wings in the Berks for four years running, which totally makes it better than Hooters. 332 Penn St., Reading, 610-376-8500, www.peanutbar.com.

Dessert: Buy up some desserts at Sweet Street for postcoital sweetness. You'll deserve it after all those calories you've burned running the bases. 722 Heisters Lane, Reading, 610-921-8113, www.sweetstreet.com.
