12788961, NYC Singles: Good date spot?
Posted by Vex_id, Thu Apr-23-15 04:29 PM
Been a while since I've navigated the date venue scene in NYC - but i'm back this weekend (for the Klitschko fight at MSG) and am trying to find an ideal spot for a (first) date. So nothing crazy or long-winded (no sit-down restaurants) - just looking for a tea/coffee-house, hookah spot, or something casual with dope aesthetics.

Nu Prague stand up?

I'm trying to find something in the West Village area. NYC is one of the few cities where I feel like yelp/google/zagat type searches won't really get you too far. So hip me to the Real, please.

... is one of my new faves in the city. It's a cocktail bar and very cute/sexy/good for conversation.

12789160, No prob. It gets PACKED on weekends, though

So I'd call and reserve. It's very sexy. Enjoy.

oh man i've been meaning to go. i figured i'd wait until it's warmer

the way he described it i really want to go. my favorite bar, elsa, closed! i'm sad. i haven't done a real cocktail bar in a while. i did weatherup a few weeks ago but before then it'd been months.

all my good date spots are closed :(

New York's first cider bar.

It's right down the street from Fight Shop, which I highly recommend you check out.

Or if you want some secret squirrel speakeasy shit, Attaboy, also in the area
12789355, might be too intense for what youre looking for

seems like you may want something more casual than intimate
