I fucking love first dates. They're exciting, nerve-racking, incredibly important and yet at the same time silly. The best first date I ever went on was at an out of the way coffee shop that's never really that busy, but that has outstanding coffee. I just asked her to coffee and two days later we spent like 3 hours just talking and having fun over coffee. While a creative date idea can be fun, what makes a date is a mutual emotional/intellectual/humorous/attraction connection. Having a great conversation with an interesting and beautiful person you're just getting to know is a blast.
All that having been said, go out to local restaurants of varying price just to get an idea of where to take a date. Be a local tourist and explore the place you live. Do you live near the beach? Do you have some interesting museums? Any hiking? How about about clubs and other nightlife locations? My only specific advice would be to avoid movies and other performances for a first date. Save those for later, after you've gotten to know each other, just as time to spend in close proximity facing the same direction instead of facing one another.
