Where To Go On A Date Right Now - Chicago - The Infatuation

"When the routine of Jeopardy! reruns date night loses its spark, head to this Old Town restaurant for tasty Peruvian food and a jolt of energy. The small space is especially buzzy at peak dinner times, thanks to celebratory groups drinking pisco sours while shazamming the clubby music. It’s not ideal for first-date chit-chat, but it’s great when you’ve been seeing each other long enough to communicate only with eyebrow raises. Use those bushy brows to decide what to order from Kayao’s line-up of zippy ceviches and tiraditos, perfectly cooked seafood, and fantastic takes on Nikkei small plates. Once the smoked duck breast rice arrives, you’ll be too fixated on its creamy richness to talk anyway." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
