🔮 Lincoln Square date vibes

Most likely you're here for the Performing Arts Center, but also not a bad spot to meet for a post-work date if you're coming from midtown and she's in the UWS. Hit up all & sundry for HH, then see if you want to walk through the park, grab a bite at Fiorello or P.J Carney's.

💸 How much will this neighborhood set me back?

if you're doing the Lincoln Center, decide how expensive you want the night to be. If you want to keep it to less than $150 for the night, grab happy hour at all & sundry, head to the event and then grab drinks at P.J. Carney's after. If you think you need to impress - do dinner at Masseria Dei Vini and then Ascent Lounge for post-event drinks, but she better be worth it. That'll set you back $400-$500.
