On TV tonight: A Hoboken girl dates men in Dallas…

Tonight on a reality show called “Holidate” on the soap network, a girl from Hoboken and a girl from Dallas switch cities and go on a series of dates. The show is designed to get single women to date “out of their comfort zone.” It’s on at 10 p.m. on Soapnet.
“Cindy, who is a product implementation manager and was previously married, goes out with three different men including a security analyst, stand-up comedian and commercial textile sales representative in and around The Big Apple. Some of the dates include a romantic gondola ride and picnic in Central Park, dining on steak at a trendy restaurant in the Meat Packing district and sailing around Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Will she find romance on the Island of Manhattan? Meanwhile in The Big D, Alex, a corporate trainer who puts family first, searches for her perfect man and dates a development executive, a finance sales director and a physician who specializes in sleep disorders. They hang out at Billy Bob’s, visit the Texas Rangers ballpark and enjoy a meal prepared by celebrity chef Kent Rathbun (“Iron Chef America” winner). Tune in to find out if either of the ladies finds her Mr. Right and invites him back to her hometown.”
