the four horsemen
Dating Profile
Award-winning destination for spectacular wine and French-Italian dishes in a snug Williamsburg setting
Flirty Factor
One of the city’s hardest reservations, The Four Horsemen exceeds all expectations with a stellar natural wine selection and dishes that equally match every glass’ quality. Wine director Justin Chearno showcases unique finds from all over the globe, while Chef Nick Curtola presents constantly evolving plates and iconic staples like the housemade bread and paperthin tuna.
Partly owned by LCD Soundystem’s James Murphy, the acoustic wooden dining room and horseshoe bar with hanging glasses create an intimate aura that’s so hip at the same time. Once you finally finesse a table for 2 at this tiny spot, bring someone who will sample every glass and dish the knowledgeable waiters bring you… Everyone who works here is so cool you’ll want to be their friend so you have an excuse to come back weekly.

claud
Dating Profile
French inspired restaurant and wine bar in the East Village serving a stellar chocolate cake
Flirty Factor
Claud is the creation of chef Joshua Pinsky and wine director Chase Sinzer - 2 Momofuku Ko alums who have gifted the city with this gem found below street-level. There are hints of a French wine bar, but their mushroom mille-feuille and melt-in-your-mouth chicken liver agnolotti put this hotspot into a culinary category of its own.
Everything at Claud feels personal, starting with the name itself being inspired by Sinzer’s mother Claudia. Bring a date to this intimate spot and be sure to order their show-stopping chocolate cake at the beginning of your meal to guarantee it doesn’t sell out.

Neighborhood nook with only 6 tables that’s so charming you’ll want to keep it a secret
Flirty Factor
Fradei’s exciting menu will transport you straight to a tiny bistro in France where the chef prepares seasonally driven dishes - including mandarins made savory with pistachio and cheese, as well as a sheep’s milk agnolotti that rivals Lilia. Chef Nico previously worked at The Four Horsemen and Place des Fetes, so you’ll get hints of a French wine bar, and the owner Clément will instantly befriend you by the end of the meal (make sure to ask for his electric playlist). Bring a date you want to impress to enjoy the intimacy of this underground gem.
