Kajitsu
If you love the East Village, make
Kajitsu your go-to first date spot, because you are sure to never get bored. The menu completely reinvents itself each month. Depending on how long you want to spend on your date, pick between their four-course and eight-course tasting menus. The cuisine is Shojin, which is a fancy way of categorizing a style of Japanese vegetarian cooking designed by Buddhist monks to honor the vegetables and not disguise them. You can wow your date with your inside knowledge by casually mentioning these facts over sake or a glass of Ippodo, a Japanese green-tea straight from a 300-year-old tea maker in Kyoto. Do not leave without trying fu, a super-charged source protein in Shojin cuisine made from gluten and rice flour.
