"The Electric Burrito team has a tiny empire locked down on the corner of 1st. Avenue and St. Marks. There’s their original location, late-night burger spot HighLife, and now El Camino for cocktails and tapas. If you live in the neighborhood, it's a very solid go-to for first dates. They focus on the classics, and the most expensive drink—a rye manhattan—is $17. The rest of the cocktails, like a coconut margarita, range from $13-16. It’s a small space, where dates at the bar chat over dirty martinis and some pretty great bar nuts, and dates at tables snack on sandwiches made with crunchy Balthazar bread and interesting fillings, like braised pork and olives. photo credit: El Camino" - Will Hartman
