The Best Restaurants For A Last-Minute Date Night

"If you really want to impress your date, go to Moongate Lounge in Chinatown. The room is one of the prettiest in the city with tall, velvet booths and a giant neon skylight, and the drinks are incredible. Each cocktail is made from ingredients like burnt corn husks and brown rice powder, and even if your job requires wrangling alligators, these cocktails will be the most interesting thing you talk about tonight. The bar is first-come, first-served, so you can drop in whenever, but there are somehow always reservations available for seats in the lounge area - snagging one of those will make a last-second scramble look like something that took a lot of planning." - taylor abrams, will kamensky
