tx, that was very helpful!

good question, I'd like to keep it around that total...give or take..which I know is possible..I'm not a big drinker nor do I think she is.

romantic-ish and around $100

I'll keep it brief, I guess technically its a second date because we had brunch the other week, but it still, for me at least feels like a first date. We agreed to meet for dinner this coming Saturday kind of late in the week. I'm not sure where this is going, so I'm not looking to drop crazy coin, yet. We both live in the UES and one thing I did want to do, was to get out of the neighborhood...weather is looking iffy, so I was thinking USQ, maybe EV (I guess Midtown coudl work)- tapas is always good, I think, but I noticed reservations (at least on-line) have been an issue with places I was thinking...I've been kind of out of this game for awhile.

Any suggestions, greatly appreciated! Even if a place that doesn't take reservations, but at least there is a decent bar to hang, etc...(or eat at the bar). Thanks!
