"Thanks to all the tree-lined streets and stunning brownstones, Fort Greene might just be the most date-worthy neighborhood in the city. And that’s probably why this French bistro, which is right across the street from Fort Greene Park, is usually packed with couples of all ages. It’s the kind of place you visit when you want to gaze up at some trees and share a bottle of sparkling wine at a sidewalk table. But you can also swing by for lunch, dinner, or brunch with someone you might want to explore Paris with in a few years. But above all else, you should know that Cafe Paulette has a live jazz band on Tuesday nights and takes reservations ahead of time online." - nikko duren
