Best Restaurants for a Date in Dallas | Eater Dallas

"What a person reads can say a lot about them, and for that reason, the indie bookstore Wild Detectives in Bishop Arts is a great place to meet for a first date. Pop in for a classic cocktail, such as a pisco sour — there are also mocktails and coffees for those who don’t drink — and browse the shelves to decode how well-read they are and if your book collections match. There’s outdoor seating out back for when the weather is nice or when the date turns more to conversation than browsing the stacks. For evening meet-ups, there are comfy spots to nestle into, and sometimes, the store hosts author events and live music. This neighborhood is super walkable, so a stroll to a second location or just around for people-watching is an option if things go well. Parking can be a beast, so plan to arrive early so you have time to find a spot or a lot." - Rachel Pinn
