1. Weeknight dinner with the girls and a lot of wine – Malatesta Trattoria (649 Washington St. nr. Christopher St.)

Casual eatery serving some of the best Italian food this side of town. Don't miss their spinach gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce!

2. Great food AND cocktails to match on the LES – Rayuela (165 Allen St. nr. Stanton St.)

The indoor olive tree is just one of the many reasons why this place is awesome.

3. Fun double date in the West Village – Spasso (551 Hudson St. nr. Perry St.)

Their hand pulled stracciatella and toasted bread is a little taste of heaven!

4. Not your average wine bar – Felice Wine Bar (1166 1^st Ave. nr. 64^th St.)

As the name implies...you'll be very felice when you leave the place!

5. Spanish Tapas bursting with authenticity  – La Nacional (239 W.14^th St.)

Fit for King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia of Spain!

6. Upscale sports bar worthy of a chill night out – Warren 77 (77 Warren St. nr. Broadway)

New York Ranger Sean Avery owned.  Cool enough for an athlete, casual enough for the rest of us!

8. Anniversary dinner in the West Village– Mas Farmhouse (39 Downing St. nr. Bedford St.)

Farm to table from the farmhouse...
