"You want your date to believe that you make your bed every day and you almost, maybe, definitely have some kind of credit score. Go to Vardo. This all-day restaurant in Chelsea looks like a spaceship owned by an intergalactic movie star. Sit in the outdoor covered area, order a couple of freshly roasted macchiatos, and say something sophisticated like “This architecture has a real Zaha Hadid feel, don’t you think?”. Plus, if the date goes well you can transition into espresso martinis and dinner." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak
