Fall is perfect for romance and romance is always better done over Food. With summer soon behind us, and spiked lemonades being replaced by pumpkin hot chocolates, it’s time to replace that roof top brunch for a great indoor restaurant with your beau. Where you should take those new boots over to should always depend on your mood. We hope you can “Fall in Love” with our favorite picks…
When you’re Feeling Fancy
Calle Ocho: Perfect for any occasion and a wide variety of Sangria that will keep you coming back for more. They do Cuban food really well and even their bread to start is to die for.
Swine: Be sure to sit in the lower level for the true intimate experience and be sure to grab their bourbon whipped cream and bread pudding. Pork lovers aren’t the only ones that will find love on the menu, as they have plenty of delicious options for all. (This location is now closed as of 2015)
Haru: Multiple locations all over NYC make this Japanese hot spot a go-to for a great happy hour, quick urge for sushi or even an anniversary dinner for two. Keep warm with the Sake once the sun is up.
When you need to be Low Key
La Bodega 47: Who doesn’t love a good speakeasy? A truly hidden gem, pun intended with an array of rums and some amazing curry chicken with rice, this cannot go unnoticed but it’s perfect for when you want to be. (this location is now Sexy Taco & under new management – June 2016)
Agua Fresca: Tucked away in East Harlem, this spot is a favorite for their mouth-watering brunch. The huge windows allow you to watch the leaves fall and you won’t miss summer too much with all of their “hot” options.(This location is now closed as of 2015)
KiraKuya Sake Bar: Sneak away from the hustle and bustle of NYC for bites of kimchi paired with sake in seductive corners of this 2nd pleasant service you’ll find in town. (This location is now closed as of 2015)
When you’re feeling like kicking it
Elberta’s: Fun and upbeat with a menu that will make your taste buds dance. Their tomato soup is a favorite you cannot pass up and there’s always a great deal going on. (this location is now closed as of 2016)
Fette Sau: One of the few locations you can get pork shoulder by the pound and a good fall beer to match. The lines here are long and the appetites are huge so come hungry and be patient.
