I used to be all about the museum on a first date. You can talk there, and the art or other exhibits are almost always good conversation starters. You can tell a whole lot about someone by what kind of art they like, what kind of cultural objects they respond to, how they view natural history or technology or what have you.
I also am a big believer in starting off with an Asian cuisine for the first dinner out. Indian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, whatever. But see what the other person likes, and is familiar with. This way you can tell: do they read? Are they travelled? Do they have friends from other cultures? Do they like mild or spicy foods? Are they adventurous or cautious?
