Time Square

The biggest date night of the year is slowly approaching.  With just a little under 2 weeks before the main event it is time to start making some reservations or at least exploring options.  If you and sugar lips have a sweet tooth we suggest you indulge that urge with a trip to the Sugar Factory.  We ventured to Times Square and sampled their Valentine Day menu. This year the menu is full of fun flirty nostalgic options that will satisfy the sugar obsessed kid in you and the booze loving adult.  The assortment of items include quirky cocktails with cotton candy and theatrical dry ice, adventurous appetizers with sexy cheese pulls and spicy Cheeto dust, hearty beefy entrees and a selection of decadent sweets.

Activity: Sunset Sail on the Manhattan 2, from Pier 62 (Chelsea)
Description: Finger foods, cocktails and a 2-hour cruise on the Hudson
Meal: Dinner at Craven, 346 West 40th Street New York, NY
Cuisine: American with International flair
Cost: $$$$

Making date night plans can be hard. More often than not we find ourselves wanting something more interesting than the basic dinner and a movie. This is especially true if you and your partner have been together for a while. Don’t end up in a date night rut. Instead, plan a romantic sunset sail and a meal with Harbor Line Cruises and Craven Restaurant (Formerly Magnolia Restaurant).

Lovage is a swanky upscale lounge, with a fun laid back approach to nightlife. Located at 350 West 40th Street, just above Magnolia Restaurant, the lounge is just a few steps from the dazzling lights of Time Square on the 37th floor. Upon entry prepare yourself for the spectacle of the 17-foot floor to ceiling windows exposing the glorious New York skyline, On a clear night, you can see just almost all of New York’s most iconic structures, including lady liberty.

Review: Magnolia Restaurant

by xoJohn

Location: 350 West 40th Street

Cuisine: American

Price: $$$

Best Dish: We have two words for you: Ox Cheeks. If you’ve never experienced this cut of meat you are in for a rare treat. The meat is tender and dissolves on impact, a true carnivore’s dream. Kudos to Executive Chef Alan Wise.

Overall: A spacious inviting space with great food and fantastic service.

Location: 11 Times Square

 

Cuisine: Eclectic American and Sushi

Items: 1 Sushi Roll, 4 cocktails, 4 entrees, 1 dessert

Overall: A relaxed space far removed from the excited throng of tourists just outside. This is a great space for native New Yorkers to entertain out of town guests or visit before or after one of the fabulous shows in the area. It s also a great watering hole for tourists looking for an easy to get to dining experience that offers a break from the excitement of the city.

The first time I saw Urbo was in passing. Its unique glass outside beckoned me and the appearance of flickering flames just beyond its doors was an inviting image that left me curious about its wares.  Located on one the busiest strips in Times Square the eatery somehow managed to gain and hold my attention and the exciting throng of tourists faded into the background.  I needed to get in there, but it wasn’t open yet. The space was still under construction despite the interesting décor.  Luckily the wait for the official opening was a short one and a few short weeks later I had the chance to experience the cuisine behind the flashy looks.
