Take a more traditional route when wooing your loved one. Gondola Amoré offers traditional Venetian gondola rides from the North Side of Redondo Beach Pier. Glide along the water in a decked-out boat as you are serenaded by your knowledgeable cruise guide, or bring your own music. Each cruise offers a basket of fresh bread, fruit, and cheese. You may opt to order champagne or bring your own wine for a little something extra on your romantic date.

Enjoy a great show and meal at the House of Blues. A major venue for touring bands, the House of Blues Los Angeles hosts live performances almost every night on their stage. In addition to the live entertainment, enjoy a fireside lounge, skyline views, elegant dining and a great experience on LA's nightlife scene.

The second largest park in Los Angeles, as well as the city's oldest, Elysian Park covers 600 acres of land. Scattered across this park, you will find a number of idyllic picnic spots, several sculptures and memorial markers, trails and a community garden. Come out here to spend some time outdoors and get some fresh air without leaving the city.

Watch a live jousting performance while you tear into your delicious dinner with your bare hands. At the Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament, you join a section and cheer for your knight as he competes against five others for the title of King's Champion. Raise your voice and experience the thrill of watching armored knights fight on horseback and with swords.
