"With its stucco walls and vintage light fixtures, Greenpoint’s Bar Americano is, admittedly, kind of romantic. Keep things casual, and grab a few seats at the quartz-topped bar. To avoid any awkward candlelit silences, order the fried chicken sandwich that comes drenched in maple syrup, and be sure to get the house appletini. It’ll make you seem fun and interesting, and it’s the best appletini in town." - bryan kim
