Top Dining Out Options
Manhattan is not short on dining options. Here are our top romantic spots.
Step outside of town and enjoy the breath-taking views at Liquid Art Winery! Try out their wine flight to select four different wines for the night as well as their yummy flatbread naan as well as their blueberry dessert pizza. Keep warm sitting inside while still enjoying the gorgeous view.
Does Italian food scream romance to anyone else? If so, check out Nico’s Little Italy, featuring authentic Italian food, right here in town. Usually for special occasions, Nico’s will offer a prefix menu, which changes from occasion to occasion. In addition to their prefix menu, check out their mushroom caps and of course their local fan favorite, chicken alfredo.
Looking for something a little more formal but still well within the norm of Manhattan? Check out Wine Dive downtown. For a starter, try out their frites with their homemade dipping sauce. Ask about trying all four of their yummy sauces. For your main, try either the scallops or the wild boar.
