These Two Institutions Make For A Great Date Night On The Upper West Side

Downtown meets Uptown at The Ribbon—a quintessential New York dining experience; it’s classic comfort with southern and French influences plus a knock-out craft cocktail list. The industrial décor and an impressive spirits collection capture the grace of its 1920's predecessor, the infamous Hotel Franconia. Take your pick from a huge selection of whiskeys for your Old Fashioned and sip on some old-world glamor.

A popular spot for cocktails, The Dakota Bar is just what you need when it comes to a nightcap. Keep the good vibes flowing over on 72nd Street with the lively crowd, a solid drinks list, and of course some snacks. You may even spot a celebrity who live nearby.
