"Ingas Bar is a premiere date spot, disguised as a neighborhood tavern on a corner in Brooklyn Heights. You won’t have to jump through any hoops to get a reservation here, but it’s the sort of candlelit, negroni-drinking place that will impress whoever is lucky enough to join you. They’ve got a pretty splittable double patty burger and other date-worthy small plates, like a tangy celery victor salad, and mortadella showered in grated brown butter. Share it at a butcher paper-covered table in the dining room with someone you like a lot, and don’t worry if you’re too full for dessert—you’ll be back soon." - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah
