"North of Madison Square Park, offices and Lenwich locations start to replace nice date spots. But Tusk Bar in the bottom of a 27th Street hotel is a great option. The place has a Jazz-Age feel, with couches and potted palms, and you can make a reservation to guarantee yourself a seat. Eat some fried olives and scallop crudo, and try one of the house martinis, like the tangy Mignonette Gibson. A mini version is available for $12." - will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja
