"You can choose between a few different vibes at this West Village townhouse, all of them plenty romantic. How does snuggling up beside the fireplace at the bar sound? What if you ensconced yourselves in a red-leather banquette in the low-ceilinged dining room, with its famous Edward Sorel mural for conversation fodder? Or should you head straight for the picturesque, ivy-covered back garden, with a fireplace of its own? Wherever you sit, if your date is really sweet on you, they’ll let you have the last one of those incredible biscuits with whipped honey butter." - neha talreja, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
