With restaurants opening and closing every second in New York City, it’s hard to decide where to eat and where not to eat when you want to impress that special someone. I mean your restaurant choice can make it or break it… and who wants to waste a magical night out on a bad meal. Using Foodie.com, I’ve created a slide show to name the 12 Best Restaurants for Date Night so you can impress that new lovely lady/gent or keep things real with your loved ones here.
The list has a reoccurring theme which features a lot of downtown stand outs and Mexican and oyster joints (you know what they say) including:
Recette (West Village) – Romantic vibe and private
Spasso (West Village) – Fun to sit at the bar
Prima (East Village) – Great seafood and oyster happy hour
Uncle Boons (Nolita) – Exciting decor and unique menu that you could learn about together
ABC Cocina (Flatiron) – Everyone loves guacamole and tacos
August (West Village) – Sit in the back garden
Rosarito Fish Shack (Williamsburg) – Best combo: seafood and Mexican and margaritas
Empellon Cocina (East Village) – Cozy spot
The Mermaid Inn (East Village) – Easy going and no pressure here
Bond Street (NoHo) – Swanky sushi
Waverly Inn (West Village) – $60 truffle mac ‘n cheese is a conversation starter that could last throughout the meal if you really can’t find something to talk about. This dish will have you talking until the next day
Market Table (West Village) – Love this corner spot and the food is insanely good
Don’t screw it up…
