"Maybe you aren’t quite sure about the person you’re going out with, or maybe you just want to seem like you aren’t trying too hard. Consider Iona. It’s a pub, and it feels like a cross between something you’d find in small town in Ireland and your grandmother’s Upper West Side apartment. There are a few small tables that you can claim, and, in the very front, you’ll find two small nooks that are perfect for a semi-private hang." - bryan kim
