Trying to impress that special someone can quickly get crazy expensive. She says she wants the pricey slice of cake, made of fair-trade dark-chocolate, and you enthusiastically nod while trying to mask your nervous smile and to remember how much is in your bank account. Let's face it. You really can't afford that dessert
and the two appetizers you ordered earlier — unless you're at
Eden Alley (707 West 47th Street, in the lower level of Unity Temple, 816-561-5415), which has a solution for your cash-strappedness. The vegetarian-, vegan-, celiac-, and soy-friendly café is doing another of its
date-night events, which allows health-conscious couples to enjoy an appetizer, two entrées and a dessert for $30 (plus tax and gratuity). That's a damn good deal, lovebirds. Seatings start at 4 p.m. and run till 9. For more information, including the restaurant's daily menu and specials, see
