How to Enjoy a Cheap Date at Austin's Alamo Drafthouse
The standard protocol for a date nowadays is dinner and a movie, usually done in a separate fashion; first dinner, then a movie. Alamo Drafthouse combines the two by taking a standard movie theater, replacing every other row with a narrow table, and devising a system to order and receive food with minimum interruption. Combining the two makes it a great place to go when your budget is tight or if you want a night out without breaking the bank.
