With Big Gay Ice Cream or Butter Lane cupcakes across the street for dessert! </p> <p>For more upscale, we just did Scarpetta in the Meatpacking district and it was amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-213905 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 08:22:38 +0000 Andrea 213905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessLC: Thanks for the review! We haven't gone anywhere yet ... will probably wait until next month when my MIL is in town to baby sit. :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-213897 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 08:03:29 +0000 SleepyMonkey 213897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I've been to hakkasan. We loved the one in London and were excited to try the one in NYC so we went for dim sum one morning. The dim sum was pretty good with high quality ingredients but so so expensive, of course. Not worth it in my opinion. Where did u end up going? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-212796 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 08:41:27 +0000 edelweiss 212796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>date night, how fun!</p> <p>@meredithNYC: love gramercy tavern! plus you can sit in the front section if you want a little more of a casual affair.</p> <p>@travelingbrit: we used to love to go to the bar at babbo, although we had to get there really early and/or on a weeknight.</p> <p>i really like the food at a voce and bar boulud. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-212691 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 07:08:49 +0000 meredithNYC 212691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Gramercy Tavern. Not exactly new/trendy, but so beautiful and the food is consistently amazing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-212673 Fri, 06 Jul 2012 05:04:21 +0000 Andrea 212673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingbrit: love Babbo too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-212541 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 21:55:12 +0000 betsyboop 212541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingbrit: Oooh yes, the pasta tasting menu is amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-212539 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 21:52:06 +0000 wheres_c 212539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Babbo is great for Italian. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-212235 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:32:19 +0000 Andrea 212235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: yeah, that's the thing - it's hard to be wowed once you've eaten around a lot. We've taken a lot of trips to France so I think that is why Per Se was just so-so. I just really wanna eat sushi but can't!! :-D</p> <p>Oh has anybody been to Hakkasan? We really loved the one in London but not sure if the New York is really any good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-212222 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:28:57 +0000 SAHM0811 212222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: haha, I sort of agree on Per Se. I went once and wasn't wow'ed, but I thought it was good so I do recommend it especially if one has no budget and has never been! But sounds like you guys have eaten a lot around the city... tough. If you're like me, it's hard to find a *really* standout place in NYC after a while! sometimes DH and I were just happy going to Grays Papaya, Levain for cookies, and then a movie :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-212188 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:19:22 +0000 Clementine 212188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we loved Wong when we went last year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-212186 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:18:36 +0000 Andrea 212186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: yeah, been checking Eleven Madison Park but it's so hard to get into. I am not a Per Se fan, don't shoot me! I was wondering about ABC Kitchen so I might check that out. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-212181 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:17:02 +0000 SAHM0811 212181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No budget and no kids? FUN! </p> <p>Eleven Madison Park and Asiate have yet to disappoint. Never had bad meals there. Per Se too! If you don't want to sit for hours in their main dining room, I believe you can still order a la carte at the salon. I also really enjoyed Dovetail. If you like Telepan, you'll like those I think.</p> <p>Haven't tried ABC Kitchen, but have heard nothing but good things!</p> <p>Enjoy your time before #2 :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-212141 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 19:04:48 +0000 betsyboop 212141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my fave places when i lived in nyc was crispo. They have a cute garden in the back that i live! And the food is good and wont break the bank! Have fun!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-212050 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:37:59 +0000 Andrea 212050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Telepan is great!

Oh yeah, I should mention that I have dietary restrictions right now so there is that! </p> <p>@Tidybee: awww, that's so sweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-212047 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:36:18 +0000 Tidybee 212047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: LOVE telepan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-212044 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:35:45 +0000 hilsy85 212044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alta, is awesome for tapas. I also like Telepan for a cozy ambiance and ahhhmazing food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-212038 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:34:37 +0000 Tidybee 212038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's pricey, but DH and I went to one if by Land for Christmas this year. It was by far the most romantic restaurant setting and the food was delicious. Total coincidence - the live piano player was playing our wedding song when we walked in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-212036 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:33:42 +0000 mrbee 212036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Need more guidance, but how about this:</p> <p><a href="http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/brushstroke/" rel="nofollow">http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/brushstroke/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-212033 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:33:08 +0000 chopsuey 212033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-top-restaurants-in-the-world-you-want-to-try#post-133029" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-top-restaurants-in-the-world-you-want-to-try#post-133029</a></p> <p>There were a few NYC recs on this thread! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-212023 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:29:53 +0000 Andrea 212023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: anything really, we're not picky. no budget. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nyc-ladies-and-mr-bee-restaurant-rec-for-date-night#post-212021 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 18:29:21 +0000 hilsy85 212021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what part of the city?
