Breathtaking photography of Sable Island Horses in their natural habitat.

The trip to Red Hook adds an entertainment element and the pizza and beer round out the evening.

Great music, intimate setting.

This is old world Italian at its best - low lighting, white tablecloths, impeccable service. It is romantic, the food is fabulous, and you can have intimate conversations OR have fun with people at the next table.

The $3 cover is well worth your while if you’re into smoking hot jazz, pool, Ping-Pong or shuffleboard (all are 9¢ per minute per person), plus foosball and board games like Scrabble and checkers, all a buck each. Quaffing-wise, expect only beer and wine—the hardest thing Fat Cat serves is chess

Sweet or stiff drinks, coffee brunch or dinner, cozy indoor or sunny outdoor seating, and--if worst comes to worst--there's plenty of cabs, buses, and subways nearby to high-tail it if her Bellini turns sour. Possibly the best choice for a nice but low-pressure date.

The Meatball Shop Serious the dry erase menus are enough to break the ice on the first date, awesome drink menu too

I can't date a guy who doesn't appreciate a nice cold beer, so I usually take my first dates to Tap room 307 in Gramercy. With 40 drafts and two casks, even if my date sucks, I'll be having fun...!

Take him or her for a walk down under the manhattan/brooklyn overpass (DUMBO!). Point out that Spike Lee's "She's Gotta Have It," was filmed there. Go to a cool record store Halycon where if you're lucky there's a dj pumping out a blend of rare funk and hip-hop.

Cobble Hill Cinemas and the pavilion cinemas if you like vintage theaters

Seriously best cookies on earth.

230 Fifth Rooftop Lounge, the rooftop bar view of the empire state building and the chrysler building is a great place to impress a date with.

Broadway! No question about it (obv if you're into that artsy fartsy stuff), but it's a thoughtful place for a date pre or post dinner date!

Sparks Steak House is pricey, but, before you lead her by hand across the threshold, you can point to the spot of sidewalk just outside the door and say, "Right here, right here is where John Gotti was whacked." Deal sealed.
Actually, it was "Big" Paul Castellano who was whacked outside of Sparks.

Caracas Arepa Bar. I am a fan of fun, laid back atmospheres for first dates. Forget the stuffy and uptight places like Gramercy Tavern. Caracas is delicious and will definitely give you and your date something to talk about. Be sure to ask for extra sauce. It is all about the sauce!

Great call! Love Caracas in Williamsburg too.
Agree, definitely addictive. Now I want to go this weekend.

Rayuela in the Lower East Side. I actually worked here as a hostess during my short stint in NYC and unbiasedly say that it is one of the best restaurants in NYC. The vibe is fun and sexy with a little edge. The food is Latin Fusion- exotic and delicious, you really cannot go wrong with anything on the Menu. The service is outstanding and I personally witnessed several seemingly successful first dates go down here.
