"We know what you’re thinking: date night at that dark bar in Union Square that’s been slinging burgers since 1892? Really? And to that we say—yes. Because although Old Town Bar is full of big groups at long tables drinking $32 pitchers of beer until they’re ready for bed, a wooden booth on the (slightly quieter) second floor is an underrated option for some red meat-centric romance. Sip on gin martinis, share a big bowl of chili, and then order under-$20 cheeseburgers for a date night that will cost you less than the price of a steak elsewhere." - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah
