"2nd Avenue Deli is a classic spot for corned beef sandwiches and matzo ball soup, and they have a very cool bar hidden above their space at 75th and 1st Avenue. It’s up a flight of stairs behind a door with a little neon sign, and it’s one of the best places for a date on the UES. Filled with candles and antique light fixtures, the bar looks like something from the 1920s, and it's easy to make a reservation. If you need a snack, there are a few small bites like deviled eggs and franks in a blanket." - Bryan Kim, Matt Tervooren, Neha Talreja
