Scene: Day: Thursday/Friday/Saturday Time: Around 9pm to 2am Where: Financial District State: Sober/Buzzed With: A Date Wants: To either sit down for a very nice meal or post-dinner at a really classy in a very swanky lounge/restaurant that is well-hidden from the crowds Frisson; 244 Jackson and Battery St This place is VERY NYC. It has a very nice restaurant for the main dining room and it's definitely very classy and expensive, but I would recommend going to this place for the lounge, that is darkened and located in the corner of the establishment. The low couches and cushioned-seats are complemented by candlelight lighting only, while the music is absolutely stunning and perfect for a great romantic conversation. The drinks at this place are also great for women - there are many exotic flavors, most based on sugar (aka cosmo varieties), and tend to be strong as well (making this spot a great place to hang out after dinner and it being open till 2am a good venue to finish off the night) The location of this place might confuse you - it is right next to the Embarcadero Center, across the street for the art galleries that tend to dominate the neighborhood and is in a very quiet place, which gives it that exact charm as to why I like going there. Also, check out the bathroom downstairs - it's wicked, so will leave you wondering till you visit :)
