Where To Dress Up And Not Feel Stupid

"Blue Whale is a “more casual” spot by the team behind Empress By Boon, but you’ll still see diners breaking out their best snakeskin booties and deep-V button-downs for a meal here. The Cow Hollow restaurant does fancy Chinese and Malaysian dishes that are mostly good, but you’re really here to take a photo with a cocktail against a backdrop of shiny mirrors and royal blue booths. There’s also a massive, multi-level back patio, ideal for “candid” photoshoots you’ll post later to prove you’re a fun person who goes out on weeknights.  " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
