I would have to agree with Cailen, start taking Paige out earlier rather then later so that they get used to different noises etc. You will find that most babies are fairly adaptable and when they are tired will fall asleep anywhere especially if you "teach" them that.
We took Gaby out for her first nighttime outing when she was a week old - to a New Years get together at a friends house! And to her first restaurant when she was around 6 weeks old. I suppose we had a fairly active social life (none of our friends had children) so she just had to adapt. Also we are very close to both sets of parents and would have dinner 1-2 times a week at their houses.
I understand why a lot of people like to stick to a routine with babies but then I find it can backfire if you are too much of a stickler if you ever need to go somewhere, especially if it is unplanned. It can then become a stressful occasion.
