It's on 1 of my list. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.
- Address136 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10003
- From my guide, updated June 2024.
Located in the East Village, Saint is a top pick for a romantic night out for folks who like a lively date spot. The joint is artsy and chic with exposed brick and chandiliers dressing the place. The menu offers delicious options like tuna carpaccio and croquettes, while the drinks, including bourbon-infused espresso martinis, are a hit.
As the night wears on, the indoor ambiance becomes livelier with dimmer lights and louder music, which might make intimate conversations challenging. However, Saint offers a more tranquil outdoor seating area where guests can still appreciate the moody lighting and charm of the romantic NYC restaurant without having to raise their voices.
