Best Place for a Likely-to-be-Terrible Tinder Date

When you’re meeting some random internet date, you need a place that’s neither too loud nor too empty, a place where you can find each other quickly and escape quickly if necessary, and a place at a low price point, so when the date turns out to be a bust, as they almost always are, you won’t be mad at the money you wasted on it. This is why Frothy Monkey is so perfect. There are multiple locations, but it’s not basic like Starbucks or overwhelmingly hipster-y, like Barista Parlor. You can get coffee, but you can also get alcohol. And if the first drink goes well, you can stay and order dinner and keep talking, but there’s not a “romantic” vibe. Plus, if you get stood up, you won’t look out of place sitting alone at a table. CARI WADE GERVIN
