Let dinner be the whole outing
Osteria Mozza ... Los Angeles offers an Italian dinner on Melrose. Dunsmoor gives Glassell Park a hearth-cooked meal. Compare the current menus and bookings before adding another timed appointment across the city.
Choose the artist you want to hear
Zebulon Cafe Concert and Lodge Room publish their own show calendars. Most Lodge Room concerts are standing. An interesting concert does not promise quiet conversation; the visitor information is where seating and entry needs belong.
A pub with your match
Ye Olde King's Head publishes sports viewing at its Santa Monica pub. The actual fixture and opening time matter. A dinner or a round with friends can be the whole evening.
