Dating in Los Angeles
Los Angeles dating often feels like picking a neighborhood and letting the night unfold. In DTLA, you can start with coffee at Cafe Dulce or Aquarela Coffee, then wander to The Broad Museum or The Geffen Contemporary before dinner at Bottega Louie, Pine and Crane DTLA, or Guisados for Mexican. In Silver Lake, 33 Taps Silver Lake and Gold Diggers keep drinks easy, while Los Feliz offers Los Feliz 3 and The Wiltern for entertainment. Chinatown gives you Highland Park Brewery Chinatown, and Philippe The Original, Cassell's Hamburger, and Howlin' Ray's are solid casual dinner picks. Coffee shop, tea, pastry, and breakfast dates are just as natural as museum afternoons.
Evening dates can move from dinner to drinks without much fuss. Try Japanese at Kouraku, Italian at Bottega Louie, Middle Eastern at Bavel, or American comfort at Cassell's Hamburger, The Black Cat, or Philippe The Original. For drinks, Tiki-Ti, The Semi-Tropic, H.M.S. Bounty, Covell, Everson Royce Bar, and The Douglas offer different moods, while Zebulon L.A. and Teragram Ballroom bring live entertainment to the night. If you want culture, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, Japanese American National Museum, and Museum of Contemporary Art are easy anchors. Outdoors, Ernest E. Debs Regional Park, Los Angeles State Historic Park, Barnsdall Art Park, and Sycamore Grove Park give you a low-key place to walk and talk. The city rewards a simple plan: pick a cuisine, pick a neighborhood, and let the date breathe.
