Where should we go? Whether you're looking for a first date destination or just a romantic evening with your longtime flame, you can't help but scour local mags and websites for the perfect answer. Well, here it is — B Flat in TriBeCa. Owned and operated by ex-Angel's Share bartenders, this subterranean Tokyo-style lounge is at once both elegant and friendly, with an astonishing array of liquors and drinks that are not just poured, they're crafted — and strong. Their small plate menu will stave off your hunger pangs and buzz though, and shouldn't be passed up. Recommended: the succulent deep-fried spring rolls, tasty grilled pork in garlic sauce and the Scenes in the City specialty cocktail, a blend of citron, lychee and grapefruit.
