🔮 Murray Hill date vibes

Going on a date here is like the Packers playing in Lambeau. Be careful however, you don't need the boys popping in unannounced when you're meeting Cristina the PA residency student from Irvine for the first time. Stick to the outskirts of the neighborhood for that first drink, then head deeper in if that goes well.

💸 How much will this neighborhood set me back?

Mid-range with options. The Flatiron Room and Raines Law Room can get pricey ($100-180 for dinner and drinks), but Albert's, Tara Rose (with happy hour), and The Flying Cock (happy hour daily 4-8pm) keep it reasonable. You can do a full night for $100-180, or keep it under $80 if you stick to happy hours and the cheaper spots.
