This Week’s Best NYC Date Spots

tested & approved by yours truly

Hey friends,

Recently I hit Deux Chats in Williamsburg—think Parisian speakeasy vibes with insane cocktails. And for a cozy, candlelit dinner, Forsythia on the LES is an absolute chef’s kiss. Also, let’s normalize saying thank you after every date, no matter what. Every no leads to a yes—you just need one. Keep the energy up!

Your Ideal NYC Weekend: Date Edition

Friday Night:
Start with drinks at Jac’s on Bond—a downtown spot with an effortlessly cool crowd. Then, grab a late dinner at King in Soho for a chic, no-menu-stress vibe.

Saturday:
Take them to Saint Theo’s in the West Village—dim lighting, Italian plates to share, and the perfect Negroni. If you’re feeling bold, sneak into The Nines after for jazz & martinis.

Sunday:
Keep it casual: Breakfast by Salt’s Cure in the West Village (the oatmeal griddle cakes will change your life) and a walk on the High Line. Bonus points if you end up at Sid’s Gold Request Room for a low-key karaoke night.
