Hey Clinton Hill — we're coming to you for dinner at The Finch. If you are as mesmerized by goldfinches as owner Gabe McMackin, who says their sudden appearance in spring is the exact kind of delightful surprise he aims to evoke at his Michelin-starred restaurant, you’ll love this place. Order the squid ink tagliatelle with peekytoe crab, saffron, lemon, and basil. Split the chocolate cake for dessert. Don't forget to Instagram the open kitchen in the center of the space that feels like you're sitting down for a meal at your neighbor's—your neighbor who is a really good cook.

To start the night (or to top it off) go to The Mayflower. It's tucked neatly inside the Italian restaurant Aita, just a few blocks away. Hold hands with your date across the marble candle-lit bar and revel in a glass of very good wine.
