DATE NIGHT!

Whether it’s your first, fifth, or fiftieth, a great date brings you ever closer to your lover—and the city. It’s that magical formula of romance and charm, food and drink, mystery and certainty. Like every couple who’s been together at least a couple years, Andrew and I had some especially memorable date nights, along with our simple, everyday favorites.

Early on, our go-to spot was Terrior, an irreverent wine bar in the East Village (now in Tribeca). We’d rock out to the Stones, Beastie Boys, or whatever they were blaring and let the incongruously scruffy bartenders, who really know their stuff, guide us to some undiscovered Greek or Austrian vintage. Fun + boozy = sexy times.

My favorite movie theater in the city is the subterranean Angelika on Houston Street. Not only do they get the best movies, but you can also hear the rumbling of the subway underground, and it feels like it could be any year in New York City. Ditto for Arturo’s, the coal-oven pizzeria just down the street. After seeing a great film—Blue Jasmine and Before Midnight come to mind—we’d walk over to Arturo’s and complete the “timeless in New York” experience, listening to the pizzeria’s live jazz, drinking Chianti, and splitting a large pie. Nostalgic + cozy = happy place.

Once we moved to Brooklyn, our date nights were less frequent but no less satisfying. Henry Public became a favorite. The charming Cobble Hill bar serves up an obscenely good turkey leg sandwich and masterful cocktails, and has a jazz trio that plays on Sunday afternoons. Rustic + humble = warm hearts.
