There's nothing better to break the ice than some friendly competition. And if you don't know how to play, ping-pong is a game that anyone can learn fairly quickly (plus teaching your date something new will bring you guys closer). SPiN has a cool retro design concept, classic diner food offerings, and even a pretty decent drinks menu, unexpectedly including Moët if you're looking to luxe up your table tennis game. Spots can be booked ahead of time but walk-ins are also welcome, and tables can be rented in half-hour or hour long increments. Fun fact: SPiN is owned by actress Susan Sarandon.
