Flirty & Thriving: NYC’s Best Date Spots This Week

Spots so good, you’ll want a second date (or at least a second round) 🍸

Hey guys, it’s Liv.

You’re all loving the NYC date night recs so here we go again…

You need to check out Bar Valentina in the East Village—think moody lighting, killer cocktails, and a touch of old-school charm. And if you haven’t tried Cervo’s on the LES yet, their seafood and natural wine game is unmatched. Also, let’s all agree: texting “thanks for the drinks/dinner!” after a date is just good manners. Keep putting yourself out there—one yes is all you need.

Speaking of saying yes… Why not say yes to an unforgettable night with NYC’s best people? If you love good food, great company, and meeting new faces, you need to be at our next Hot Girl & Guy Dinner on March 20th. 99% come solo, 100% leave with new friends. Think private chef, gorgeous venue, and the kind of effortless social vibe you wish every night had. Click HERE to lock in your spot.
