Your A-List, Best Place for a First Date

M5X00022_9.JPG
I took Kip to the theater for our first date — 17 years ago. I remember fondly the gentle, inquisitive chatting before and after the show. Also the break from conversation as we watched something called “A Texas Romance” in the dark, sitting side by side, already parallel as we would be in life.

The A-List winner for Best Place for a First Date is also a theater, but a movie house, to be more specific. In fact, it’s a small group of movie theaters that have won numerous A-List awards for combining food, drink, film and socializing. Alamo Drafthouse — no particular location — took 28 percent of the vote.

Hula Hut, the playfully themed restaurant on Lake Austin, come in second with 13 percent. Eternally youthful Peter Pan Putt-Putt was not far behind with 13 percent. Two restaurants — Hyde Park Bar & Grill and Vivo — virtually tied at 9 percent. The coffeehouse and roasters next to Hula Hut, Mozart’s warmed to 8 percent, while the Restaurant Row veteran, Romeo’s, earned 7 percent of the love. Coming in under 6 percent were Enoteca Vespaio, Chez Zee and Mars.
