In honor of the April 27 screening of Blonde Venus at the Aero, we bring you an all Marlene Dietrich-themed Cheap Date.

1:01 p.m.

Suck in your cheekbones and head out for some Dietrich-inspired dining at the Red Lion Tavern (2366 Glendale Blvd.) in Silver Lake. We suggest indulging in a wide range of tastes (much like our favorite Germanic goddess) and sharing both the largest sausage on the menu as well as the fish.

Cost: Around $15 a person unless you get carried away in the beer garden

2:14 p.m.

Playing Marlene’s album Love Songs to further enhance the mood, head on down to her star on the Walk of Fame (6400 Hollywood Blvd.). Then, throw on a top hat and kick up your heels doing your best Lola from The Blue Angel impression for an unforgettable photograph.

Cost: Free

2:33 p.m.

Walk down just a few short blocks away until you reach the Hollywood History Museum (1660 N. Highland Ave.). Overdose on all things glamour and Hollywood while gazing at the same mirrors Marlene looked into after approving Max Factor’s touch ups. We believe one of her wigs is still on display as well.

Cost: $15 a person

5:29 p.m.

Surprise your date by playing lesser-known Dietrich ditties like her cover of Pete Seeger’s “Where have all the flowers gone” while making the drive down to the Aero Theatre (1328 Montana Ave.) for an early evening screening of Blonde Venus. As if the pairing of Marlene and Cary Grant weren’t enough, this fantastic film features everything from a nude swimming scene to Marlene singing “Hot Voodoo” in a gorilla suit.

Cost: $10 each

7:17 p.m.

It was no accident Marlene played a cigar-smoking brothel owner in Touch of Evil as it’s been said she was known to suck on a stogie or two a day. Pick up a few of your very own at the Tinder Box (8621 Santa Monica Blvd.).

Cost: Depends on the cigar
