"Take your date somewhere absolutely nobody knows your name: La Carafe, the cash-only wine bar downtown. Rumored to be haunted, La Carafe has all the trappings of a late-night date spot: a giant gold cash register, candles burning atop giant pillars of drippy wax, old paintings of weird people, a friendly yet disinterested bartender, and a jukebox that may or may not work. It’s perfect." - chelsea thomas
