SoBro Gallery Pastry Shop is a multi-purpose kind of pastry bar where you can meet up for a light lunch, brunch, coffee, or a cocktail. But the main reason to go is to impress your date with a chocolate mousse pillow or an opera cake, and to see if your date is crucially the dessert-sharing type.
Garfield Park Take your date to the Garfield Gardens Conservancy , a glass greenhouse filled with tropical plants, koi fish, and the year-round warmth we can all rely on. Fountain Square The Fountain Square Theatre building houses duckpin bowling, a bar, a restaurant, and a rooftop lounge in the summer months, and the theater itself hosts frequent swing-dancing nights starting with a lesson for beginners.
Fountain Square If you or your date are aesthetically inclined, First Fridays are a perfect opportunity to see some art and some art in progress as galleries in and around the Murphy Art Center building open for tours. Make a night of it with tacos and tequila at La Margarita on the ground floor. Speedway Indoor Karting offers something a little different -- not your ordinary karts, but instead a mega-track made for adrenaline and very adult acceleration.
Garfield Park Listen Hear is a gallery dedicated entirely to the use of sound as an artistic medium, and many events and exhibitions there are free.
If your date owns more vinyl records than cooking and eating utensils, this should be high on your list. You'll both be seeing stars either way. Fountain Square You can always count on The White Rabbit to have a regular lineup of burlesque shows worth every penny of the ticket price, and the Luxotica Lounge Cabaret Show is one of the highlights.
