19 Top First Date Spots in Manhattan - Eater NY

"One of the better bars on the Upper East Side, the Penrose is sure to be bumping on weeknights. Plus, there are plenty of small food options for sharing (or not sharing). It can get pretty crowded, so have Bondurants a few blocks up as a backup." - Patty Diez, Stefanie Tuder
