"One If By Land is the quintessential NYC restaurant for capital-R romance with an unofficial corner on the proposal market. Housed in a beautiful 18th-century building with brick walls, high ceilings, and massive chandeliers, the West Village classic was also once Aaron Burr’s carriage house. The windows overlooking the private garden are a good place to celebrate a special occasion and dig into chocolate soufflé. And it’s fun to make a game out of guessing which dining neighbor is most likely to get down on one knee." - anne cruz
