A date plan
Date · SoHo
Start with refined French-Italian cuisine in a gallery-like setting, then explore wine bars showcasing natural wines, and finish with artisanal gelato.
SoHo · $$$ · Fine dining restaurant · Art gallery
This West Village gem doubles as an art gallery—literally, with rotating installations framing your meal. Expect impeccable Modern European cuisine in an intimate, candlelit space that feels more like a secret than a restaurant. It's the kind of place that makes you feel special just for being there.
~0.9 mi — consider a cab or the subway. Frevo sits just outside SoHo proper in West Village, but the artsy vibe is pure downtown. After dinner, head east toward Centre Street—you'll drift through charming side streets lined with galleries and vintage shops.
SoHo · $$$ · Wine bar
This Natural wine bar radiates Euro-cool energy with carefully curated bottles and an unhurried vibe perfect for lingering. The knowledgeable staff will guide you through unusual, interesting wines without the pretension. It's the kind of spot where a second glass feels inevitable.
~8 min walk (0.4 mi). From La Compagnie, Spring Street and Rivareno are a short stroll south. You're firmly back in SoHo territory now, with its iconic cast-iron buildings as your backdrop—perfect for a postprandial wander before gelato.
SoHo · Ice cream shop
End the night with authentic Italian gelato that tastes like it was scooped straight from a Roman piazza. The texture is impossibly silky, and flavors like pistachio and dark chocolate actually taste like their ingredients. Sharing a single cone feels like the perfect romantic punctuation mark.
