"If you have zero gut feelings about whether this date is going to be surprisingly great or predictably horrible, take them to The Mayflower in Clinton Hill. It’s hidden behind some thick vines with almost no signage, and the dim vibe inside helps maintain the feeling that no one you know will ever find you here. The cocktails also happen to be excellent, and if the date is going well and you think you have enough conversation topics to sustain you through dinner, you’re steps away from Aita, the charming neighborhood Italian spot next door." - bryan kim, katherine lewin
