Where To Grab Drinks When You Want To Make It Clear It's Not A Date - New York - The Infatuation

"The Smith isn’t even a friend zone. It’s neutral ground. It’s whatever you want it to be. There’s not much going on at the Smith that’ll stimulate good conversation, let alone any of the other senses, really. (If, after bringing someone here, you still haven’t convinced them that perhaps you aren’t so interesting after all, it’s worse than you thought.) Grab a drink at whichever Smith location you’re around when you need to ensure that you make no new memories that your acquaintance can look back on as the moment they knew you were the one." - neha talreja
