Arts & Entertainment
If there's one thing I keep hearing about dating in these here modern times is that it's that all dates consist of a run-of-the-mill coffee/adult beverage. Whether it's your first date or your fourteenth, make it memorable by doing something that requires thought or, even better, laughter.

If your date lacks a sense of humor, at least you'll get in chuckles during any of the comedy acts that take the stage. Fair warning, wearers of eyeliner and mascara, wear waterproof eye makeup as some acts may make you laugh your warpaint off.Food & Drink
