Romeo,
After some lunchtime reflection, I agree that a "before" activity may be overdoing it. I have made the mistake in the past of thinking that simply maximizing my time w/someone would eventually lead to something. It won't. It can dilute your quality time, too.
I also agree that a packed, sweaty, smokey club is out. I hate those places anyway. I proposed it b/c many people seem to live for that scene. Chicks seem to like jazz clubs, so that might go well. If you can suck it up for 2 hours you might try an artsy movie or something like that. It's a good place for touching, provided you refrain from the way-too-obvious "overhead stretch turns into arm around the chick's shoulders" move. The downside of a movie is that you're both passively watching something, rather than actively interacting and getting to know each other. Still, the natural inclination to discuss the artsy movie afterwards may lengthen the date and increase your odds of being invited back up to her place. Artsy movies don't tend to run on the same schedules as regular movies, so your reservation time and eating speed may affect this possibility.
One devious variation would be to mention (before dinner) your strong desire to see an artsy movie afterwards. She'll probably agree. Mention that you aren't quite sure what time it's playing, but that you're certain you'll be able to catch a show. At this point you are lying your ass off, b/c you have made damn sure that the last playing of your particular artsy movie is well before you finish dinner. Once you discover your "misjudgement", if you act disappointed enough, like you had your little heart set on seeing some (incredibly boring) artsy movie, she may be moved to declare "why don't we just rent one instead?". You can at first fake that your evening is already screwed, but acquiesce in the end to "her" idea. Now your booty odds have increased tremendously.
If all the movies are playing well into the night, then don't worry about the above and just go see one. This is just one proposal--I'm sure there are many other things to do besides artsy movies. I'd have maybe 3 or 4 in your head, and play it by ear as the night goes on. Good luck.
