West Village First Date Ideas

West Village is the NFC East of NYC dating. Top tier players and you can't be afraid to spend. That 10 you're meeting never saw an Alo outfit she didn't buy, has a yorkie named Tay Tay and perfectly curated IG full of yacht pics in Greece (don't ask who's behind the camera).

Be wary soldier, it's a first date

🔮 West Village date vibes

The NFC East of NYC dating. Top tier players and you can't be afraid to spend. That 10 you're meeting never saw an Alo outfit she didn't buy, has a yorkie named Tay Tay and perfectly curated IG full of yacht pics in Greece. Waverly Inn is a white girl temple—she'll judge you but also fully expect it.

💸 How much will this neighborhood set me back?

High. Waverly Inn and Sogno Toscano can easily hit $200-300 for dinner. Serpentine and Perle have happy hours that help, but you're in West Village—expect to spend. Johnny's is the only real budget option, but if you're taking her to Johnny's, you're probably not taking her to Waverly Inn.
