Iron Rhino Forge

A working blacksmith school (with satellite forges scattered across the state) that runs a class literally called "Date Night At The Forge": you and a partner each hammer out one half of a steel heart at the anvil, then join them into a single interlocking piece. The same shop also teaches railroad-spike knife forging, folding pocket knives, and a full Viking axe class.

The move: Book the 3-hour Date Night At The Forge ($300/couple, no experience required): suit up, work a coal forge together, and walk out with two halves of one steel heart that only fit together because you made them.
