"If the president gathered a team of NASA’s top scientists and ordered them to build the perfect first date bar, you’d get Margot. The narrow Downtown spot is a very romantic shade of pink, has lots of natural wine options, and can simply be described with no word other than “cozy.” Plus, there are tasty small plates you can eat without making a mess. Before you plan a date here, we should warn you that this place is popular and doesn’t take reservations, so try to come at an off-time, or risk waiting 40 sober minutes for a seat, which is a first-date worst-case scenario." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
