"If you're ready to try and date like it's 1995 and the word "app" has no meaning, head to this Echo Park wine bar on a Friday or Saturday night. During the week, El Prado stays pretty mellow. Everything changes once the weekend rolls around: you'll find a DJ spinning records and a loud, fun crowd. It won't be weird (if you don't make it weird) to introduce yourself to a group of strangers. Just crack a joke about the hot dog rotisserie behind the bar—whoever thought of selling franks with natural wine clearly wants people talking about it. " - brant cox, nikko duren
