Hipsters have a very particular taste when it comes to… well… everything. They tend to avoid mainstream activities so it’s pretty difficult to impress them. If you’re currently dating a hipster, you’ll need to keep this in mind and impress him/her with alternative places like these:
1. Light Industry
[Light Industry]Their goal is to explore new models for the presentation of cinema. Bringing together the worlds of contemporary art, experimental film, and documentary. Begin your date here if you want to set a high bar.
