Anniversary ideas in New York
Hand-picked spots and full nights out, from a list we keep ourselves — no tourist traps. Or text Cael and it plans and books one around her.
Our picks
Gramercy Tavern · Flatiron · $$$$
refined,warm
“Danny Meyer's warm, impeccable classic — the front tavern room is walk-in and less stiff than the dining room.”
I Sodi · West Village · $$$
intimate,romantic
“Tuscan, low-lit, grown-up — the quiet romantic pick that isn't Carbone. The lasagne is legendary.”
Keens Steakhouse · Midtown · $$$$
historic,characterful
“A 1885 mutton-chop institution with clay pipes on the ceiling — the characterful old-NY steakhouse move over the tourist ones.”
Lilia · Williamsburg · $$$
impressive,lively
“Missy Robbins' pasta in a converted auto shop — the impressive-but-not-stuffy Brooklyn date. Books out a month.”
Raoul's · SoHo · $$$
romantic,classic
“A cand-lit SoHo French bistro since '75 — get the (secret) bar-only steak au poivre. Timeless date.”
Via Carota · West Village · $$$
romantic,charming
“The most charming Italian in the Village — walk-in only, so come early or off-peak. The svizzerina and green salad are the move.”
