NY Date Night.

by Kim on August 31st, 2006

When I make preparations for dates, I believe that plans should coordinate with whatever event or venue we are attending. Either themeatically or geographically.

So, for example, a Broadway show could mean something old New York — like cocktails at Sardi’s before hand and post-theater snacks at a cute, smokey (not anymore) pub in the Broadway district — I’m thinking St. Andrews.

If it’s shopping down in Soho on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, it’s got to be a champagne cocktail at Balthazar or Pastis.

A romantic New York evening (which oddly, could include a U2 concert) calls for a Mario Batali establishment, followed by after-dinner drinks at the Church Bar at Tribeca Grand Hotel.

I also feel it is my responsibility to balance my interests with my date’s (hubby)…therefore, if I love the ballet and he snores through it, I think I owe it to him to take him to an utterly Tony Soprano-esque martini/cigar/antipasto joint…just to be fair. (and mostly so I don’t have to feel so guilty.)

Why do I bring this up? Because. If I must endure an angry, screaming, anti-establishment Neil Young “performance” (even though the concert was someone’s birthday gesture from me) then I think it should be balanced with: drinks at The Four Seasons , followed by dinner at Per Se.

I’m just saying.

Fair and balanced dating.
