They say to stick with what you know.
As true for first dates as it isn’t for second marriages.
Our old standby: a little dinner, a little music and a whole lotta wine.
Good news: New York Wine Week is on the horizon. We recommend pairing it with our favorite new menu in town and a stunning new jazz hall for a night she won’t soon forget.
We’ve got the plan. You get the gal. Step to it.
Wine Her
New York Wine Week starts a week from today. They’ve got something for everyone, from the casual sipper to the decorated sommelier. With 30+ participating locales across the city over five days, your biggest challenge will be picking where to go. Wristbands are on sale now; they get you $4 apps and glasses at all participating establishments. Use the code HOOK5 at checkout for $5 off.
Dine Her
French slang for a casual eatery, Resto is a laid-back Belgian spot with a brand new menu thanks to Chef Koren Grieveson, named one of Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs in 2008 and a recipient of the James Beard Award for Best New Chefs in the U.S. Go for the Roasted Duck with Grapes, the Tomato Crevette with Rock Shrimp and a shared plate of the seasonal squash selections.
Ask Her to Dance
The Hall Brooklyn is a spankin’ new music-and-food venture from Chef Michael Psilakis. Each night the cuisine and cocktails complement the performance. The seated establishment is acoustically reinforced with a state-of-the-art sound system to deliver tunes at their best. Take a look at the stellar lineup here, which tends toward jazz, folk, funk and acoustic rock.
