MY GO-to date night restaurants

Valentine’s Day may be over but we’re always celebrating love at LLG. Here are my current go-to date night restaurants in NYC.

Monkey bar

This place has been around forever, my parents used to go here! I love the vibe, the atmosphere and the wallpaper lol Reservations are hard to come by so walk in early and get your name on the waitlist for the bar. They still serve a full menu and it’s such a scene.

Zuma

Whenever I’m craving sushi and good cocktails, this is my secret place. Paul and I order practically everything on the menu and we splurge here. It’s become our Friday night spot to grab a drink and unwind from the week.

Valbella’s at the Park

Everyone needs their signature Italian spot and this is ours. Introduced to us by one of my industry colleagues, this place has it all. I’m obsessed with their 2nd floor outdoor lounge with a cabana like feel and outdoor electric fireplaces. This restaurant is perfect during the spring/summer months and is in the middle of midtown.

Bom NYC

An immersive Korean style dining experience. My clients took me to this place and we fell in love. We tried out the chef’s newest 14 course tasting menu and we were blown away. The tasting room is completely private with limited seating but if you’re looking for a 5 star night out and ready to spend some serious coin then this is your place. 

Fouquet’s

Looking for a restaurant with incredible french food that reminds you of Paris? Look no further. Reservations are hard to come by but this restaurant is well worth the wait. Paul and I rank this as one of our top 5 favorite restaurants of all time. I have not stopped craving their french onion soup since December.
