Socarrat Paella Bar
259 W 19th St., Chelsea, NYNo bigger than a subway car, Socarrat packs the majority of their patrons on bar stools around a communal table. The idea here is that they do paella the way it’s done in Spain, as one big family. In such a small space, keeping the drool inside your mouth while you wait for your food is no easy task.

dell’anima
38 8th Avenue, West Village, NYWe like dell’anima specifically for the ample bar seating and chef’s counter, perfect for a more casual meal, and making it a great First/Early in The Game Date destination. We also like it because the food is pretty damn spectacular.

The Spotted Pig
314 W. 11th St., West Village, NYPossibly New York’s most famous “gastro-pub”, The Spotted Pig is ideal for evenings where you’re looking to mix it up, throw a couple down, and see where the night takes you.

Tia Pol
205 10th Ave., Chelsea, NYTia Pol is an ultimate Infatuation First/Early In The Game Date spot. Take the edge off, have a couple of glasses of wine, and maybe some sangria while you’re at it too. Conversation will be flowing freely, you’ll be sharing quality small plates, and before you know it, you’ll wind up back in her apartment listening to Lady GaGa while you play grab-ass on the couch.

Bombay Talkie
189 9th Ave., Chelsea, NYSomehow in a city where almost everyone you meet is a self-proclaimed “foodie”, Indian seems to be a cuisine that has been left behind in the trendification (just made that up) of ethnic foods. Enter Bombay Talkie, a place where you can go have some real deal Indian in a modern and lively setting.

Catch
21 9th Ave, Meatpacking District, NYYou already know that we stay away from Meatpacking restaurant-club hybrids. Our idea of a good time does not include rubbing elbows with D-list celebs at Spice Market. Nor does it involve poppin’ bottles at Provocateur. But somehow, we ended up at Catch the other night, the new three story fish-topia opened by the Abe [...]

Piccolo Angolo
621 Hudson St., West Village, NYA while back, Daily Candy asked us to put together a Fashion Week guide to our favorite restaurants in the Meatpacking District. To us, this was about the same as asking someone to choose their favorite place to get poisoned. We (as you know by now) avoid the MPD at all costs, and therefore don’t [...]

Crispo
240 W 14th St. #A, Chelsea, NYAn old Infatuation favorite, Crispo is still hanging tough like Keith Richards’ internal organs. They’re drawing nice crowds most nights, and the food is exactly as we remembered – high quality Italian with great pastas, a nice selection of cured meats and antipasti, and a solid wine list.

Co.
290 9th Ave., Chelsea, NYCo. (aka Company) is the hip, quasi-new addition to the Sullivan St. Bakery monopoly, and features a more complete menu than other next level pizza-throbs like Motorino and Keste.
