Where To Go On A First Date In LA Right Now

"You might be thinking that a 60-year-old dive bar in Santa Monica is an interesting first date choice, but this isn’t the Chez Jay of old. After an extensive update, the large back patio comes adorned with fire pits, string lights, and big comfy chairs ideal for making you look super cute. We like the crispy chicken sandwich with house slaw or the cheeseburger, but if you aren’t all that hungry, stick to martinis and an order of calamari." - brant cox
