The 25 Most Romantic Restaurants in NYC for Your Next Date Night  (February 2022)

"This “New York bar with a Japanese soul” is the Brooklyn counterpart to the beloved Lower East Side Japanese cocktail bar, Bar Goto. Relax at the garden landscape-lined bar or enjoy heated outdoor seating while sipping sophisticated cocktails with a Japanese twist and nibbling on small bites like miso wings and Japanese croquettes. As a finalist for the 2020 Spirited Awards, spirits really are Niban’s strong suit, with the menu boasting an impressive selection: shochus, sakes, wines, beers, Japanese whiskeys and more."
