Date Night

Last night the Boy and I went on a date. After 4.5 years of going out and a year of living together we still love to have nights where we dress up and go out to try new places and just enjoy each other's company. After a very stressful summer this date was exactly what we needed.

Currently NYC is having one of its numerous restaurant weeks. Participating venues offer pre-fixe entrees at very low prices. This time it is a 3-course meal for $35 per person. Considering that many of these places can run $100+ per person the deal is amazing. We picked a relatively new place called "Perry St."

August Date night 1

The food there was amazingggg! I tried to take pictures, but the venue was very dark[and romantic] so just take my word for it.

Next we went to our favorite bar/lounge. The Boy took me there on our first date and we come back whenever we want to have good drinks and ambiance. We parked by 40 Bond Street, which had a sick design on the wall and the doorway. It was so beautiful we thought it was a perfect place for a mini-shoot.

This is in the doorway.

So beautiful.

August Date night 5

This is our favorite Bar called "Temple Bar." Inside it is like a 20's bar with red velvet carpeting, vintage couches and dimmed lighting. They also give you a dish with popcorn and weird corn chip thingies. The drink prices are insane, but they are strong that we can never have more than 2 cocktails. So worth it!!!
