Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens
4. Griffith Park
Go for a hike or bike ride through this sprawling Los Feliz park. Not quite ready to sweat in front of each other? Stick to the zoo, the train ride or the merry-go-round. Or simply enjoy an afternoon picnic. 4730 Crystal Springs Dr., Los Feliz. (323) 913-4688. More information: laparks.org.

3. ASSSSCAT at Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre
Granted, a night of improv comedy isn't everyone's idea of a barrel of laughs. But if you and your date are the type of people who enjoy watching professional and up-and-coming comedic actors get themselves in awkward situations for the amusement of others, then this event at UCB Theatre is worth the wait in line. Afterward, head to nearby Birds Café and Bar for a post-show debriefing over pints and chicken wings. 5919 Franklin Ave., Los Feliz. (323) 908-8702. More information: losangeles.ucbtheatre.com.

Up next: roller derby and a supper club

My favorite first date spot is the Venice Ocean Front Walk or a picnic on the beach.

Wife and I had our first date at Rose Bowl antique and flea market - must have worked, since we've been together now for 18+ years

Except for UCB, wine tasting and Cicada, I've been to all of them... by myself :(

Hey White Harte Pub (British) there's Monday Night Dinner & Movie nights, and for same price as going to the theater you can have dinner, movie, dinner and drinks! So why spend a fortune at the movie theater unless there is a must see new film, you're better off going to a quaint and cozy pub for drinks during your movie in a beer garden....

I went on my first date with my fiance to the Cicada Club. It's a fabulous place to start falling in love with someone.
