If you&#8217;re venturing out this weekend, considering trying one of these eight reader-suggested venues—and let us know how it went.<span id="more-4463"></span></p><p><strong>Rubulad</strong>, 338 Flushing Ave., Bedford Stuyvesant, 718-782-8523<br /> &#8220;The DIY venues are a good spot for dates. One particular, Rubulad, has food and screenings that are kind of a backdrop to a dance party.  It&#8217;s sort of irregular and entry is like 15 bucks.  Then you still have to pay for food, but it isn&#8217;t bad for an entire night out.&#8221; &#8212; <em>Syd, Bed-Stuy</em></p><p><strong>Fette Sau</strong>, 354 Metropolitan Ave.,  South Side Williamsburg, 718-963-3404<br /> &#8220;Fette Sau is a bar and BBQ joint with whiskey flights at group prices from $10-20.  I didn&#8217;t try the food because I was vegetarian at the time, but it looked good at least.  The place isn&#8217;t the most intimate, but I&#8217;d definitely go there on a date.&#8221; &#8212; <em>Anna Beeke, Williamsburg</em></p><p><a href="http://www.endlesssummertacos.com/" target="_self"><strong> </strong></a></p><div id="attachment_4589" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 260px"><a><strong><strong><img class="size-medium wp-image-4589" title="picture-226" src="http://www.brokelyn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/picture-226-250x159.png" alt="Endless Summer Taco Truck, photo by Ultraclay." width="250" height="159" /></strong></strong></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Endless Summer Taco Truck, photo by Ultraclay.</p></div><p><strong>Endless Summer Taco Truck</strong>, N. 6th St. and Bedford Ave., Williamsburg, 347-400-8128<br /> &#8220;You can get a taco for $2.50 and I always go for the side of grilled corn.  It&#8217;s something you can eat if you want to go walking around with your date; so it makes for a nice, quick meal.&#8221; &#8212; <em>Eddie Roth, Williamsburg</em></p><p><a href="http://www.elviejoyayo.com/english-home.htm" target="_self"></a></p><p><strong><a href="http://www.elviejoyayo.com/english-home.htm" target="_self">El Viejo Yayo</a></strong>, 36 Fifth Ave., Park Slope, 718-622-9640<br /> &#8220;Yayo on 5th Avenue and Bergen is good for affordable, authentic Spanish food.  You can eat for about $20 a person.&#8221; &#8212; <em>Doris Bourdier, Crown Heights</em></p><p><em></em> <strong>Stolovaya</strong>, 813 Ave. U, Sheepshead Bay, 718-787-0120<br /> &#8220;I would recommend Stolovaya for the experience of Russian culture as much as the food.  But the chicken or lamb dumplings are delicious and really filling for $4.50 a plate.&#8221; &#8212; <em>Dimitri T., Prospect Heights</em><em></em></p><p><strong><a href="ttp://www.zenkichi.com/" target="_self"></a></strong></p><div id="attachment_4588" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 260px"><strong><a href="ttp://www.zenkichi.com/" target="_self"><strong> </strong></a><strong><a><img class="size-medium wp-image-4588" title="picture-225" src="http://www.brokelyn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/picture-225-250x166.png" alt="Beef miso gratin at Zenkichi, photo by Francis Kirigin.
