"You’re pretty sure that when this person from an old improv class slid into your DMs, they wanted it to be a date. But you’re not so sure you want it to be one. So go to Connie and Ted’s. This huge restaurant in Boystown is filled with so many producers taking meetings that no one is going to think it’s intimate in here, but at the same time, they’ve got a menu full of demonstrably sexy foods like oysters, uni, and lobster if you decide you like this person. And if you don’t, there’s extremely non-sexy food, too, like clam chowder and mussels in red sauce. Because no one’s ever looked hot with marinara sauce on their face." - brett keating
