LA Date Night: Perch

PERCH

This is the perfect spot for either a daytime brunch or a night of dinner and/or drinks. Placed in the heart of Downtown LA, Perch offers a classy and trendy ambience without breaking the bank—not to mention the breathtaking rooftop view of the city!  Just make sure to plan ahead and make reservations so you don’t end up in that long line that spans around the corner.

Boston Date Night: The Beehive

The Beehive

The Beehive is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Boston. Live music compliments the fabulous dinner menu, along with the wonderful service that completes the experience. I was fortunate enough to go this establishment with my friends for my 25th birthday, and use it as a nightcap on a wonderful date with a guy that I am hopeful of writing about again. The drinks are creative and delicious (especially if you have a sweet tooth like me). You’ll remember the night you attend the Beehive whether you enjoy it with girlfriends or a hot date.

Atlanta Date Night: The Sun Dial Restaurant

The Sun Dial Restaurant

Want to make your date feel on top of the world? Take them there! Well, at least to the top of Atlanta at The Sun Dial Restaurant. This revolving restaurant is an Atlanta favorite and not only provides a beautiful atmosphere on the inside but breath taking views on the outside! It is a bit pricey (and it is mostly the ambiance you’re paying for), but once you take in the view, it’ll be worth it!

Nashville Date Night: The Sutler

The Sutler

Who says live music has to remain in the Broadway Honky Tonks? The Sutler in Melrose provides live music and a trendy bar vibe that is absolutely perfect for a date; casual yet upscale. Live bands give you a fabulous excuse to lean in a little closer to talk to your date, which is never a bad thing! In addition to the great atmosphere, The Sutler is affordable with a bottle of Pinot Noir for $24, a steal! “Shareables” on dates add a bonding experience and an additional topic of conversation. The Sutler’s menu is conducive to this featuring “snacks”, “dunks”, and “veggies” options. Picking and choosing which culinary creations to split is both fun and flirty. If you’re not quite ready to call it a night, you and your date should check out the amazing lounge downstairs. It has a vibe that reminiscent of a speakeasy in New York or Chicago. It provides a new environment to liven up your date with the convenience of not having to leave the restaurant!

What to do when you’re haunted by your ex’s past

Unless you’re still dating your high school sweetheart, the dude you’re dating has a romantic history that doesn’t involve you. And even if he is your high school sweetheart, there could be some history there too. Middle school can get pretty steamy, if I remember correctly! (I have a boatload of spin the bottle stories.) Anyway, the question here is what should you do if your ex’s romantic past feels like it’s haunting you. And I have the answer. Read more

Welcome To Boston

Boston: a city filled with hometown pride, established by education and culture, and crawling with men. After succumbing to gypsy soul for several years, and moving being able to call California, Connecticut, and Texas home, I can honestly say Boston is my favorite place of residence. While this city is probably the most difficult to navigate, I would have to say the dating scene is one in the same. I’m staring 26 right in the face, and while my friends are getting engaged or married, I am still trying to find a “plus one” to the most important and memorable days of their lives. Read more
