Yvette says /*Bond Street*/ opens at 6 p.m., so it is a great place to meet a date after work.
Nearby, you can make it a lunch date at the French café, /*Café Flore*/. Everything is well under $20, including the ravioli du jour, spinach salad and cheese sandwich with fries.
"They actually have an online special," says Yvette. "If you make your reservation online the day before, you get 20 percent off your bill. And no coupons necessary, so, you know, you can still be saving your money, but it's not going to be so obvious."
The /*Laugh Factory*/ is a good time for a good price.
"They have their comedy nights every night of the week for $20. You really can't beat that for the fun time that you're going to have," says Yvette. "And the cool thing about this is that they actually just opened a brand new Laugh Factory in Long Beach."
For an artsy date by the beach, nothing beats the /*Getty Villa*/ in Pacific Palisades, which offers free admission any day of the week.
"All you have to do is call ahead of time," says Yvette. "This is one of the most beautiful places in all of Southern California."
