"Highland Park Bowl makes for a great date spot for first-time daters and longtime couples who prefer to bond over an activity rather than while sitting across a cramped table. The menu offers wood-fired pizzas, fries, burgers, and more, plus a solid range of cocktails, and there’s bar space to hang after a round or two of bowling. Plus, the best part about a date in Highland Park is the ability to walk around Figueroa after, stopping in at another bar or restaurant to prolong the evening if things go well. Check the calendar to see if there are comedy or burlesque nights on deck." - Rebecca Roland, Matthew Kang
