The Best First Date Spots In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Margaritas, fried Oaxacan cheese, a stuffed life-size jaguar—Hellbender checks every box for a romantic evening in Ridgewood. Think restaurant, but with the soul of a bar. Grab a few stools and get some crackly lamb tacos and piña coladas, or sit in a booth and eat a full meal. Ordering anything with tortillas is a good idea, like the strip steak with roasted onions and ancho brown butter." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja
