Don't like the downtown dress code... but hate hanging out on the sterile streets of suburbia?  Then South Park is your new favorite place!  30th/Fern Street cuts right through this tender town like the sun slices through the San Diego marine layer.  But 30th Street's "Restuarant Row" is quickly growing in popularity, so enjoy this gem while you can!

PLAY DATE:  Hamilton's Tavern- The Whistle Stop- Station Tavern- Vagabond- El Camino.

“You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.”  Plato.  This date is for those of you who always thought that you A) have to spend a lot of money downtown and B) you have to go to a bass-bumping nightclub to have a fun in the Gaslamp.  Healthy competition drives this date design…

PLAY DATE: Beer Tasting at Neighborhood- Bowling at East Village Tavern & Bowl- Dinner and Drinks at Basic Urban Kitchen & Bar.

Ok... Why have I never heard of The National Comedy Theatre before?  Am I being punked?  If so, the laugh is on them!  Literally, because I laughed sooooo hard during this 100 minute show... and I didn't even purchase a beer at the concession stand.  This type of improv prevents you from having to think of witty conversation on the spot... They do the work for you!  And, there's nothing like laugher to help create (or reignite) that romantic spark.

PLAY DATE:  Dinner at Starlite or Burger Lounge (Budget Concious)- Laughs at The National Comedy Theatre- If you go to an early show then I'd do late night dinner at Starlite (food till midnight).
