10 Summer Date Night Spots In NYC

Provocateur Cafe

Provocateur certainly does not come into most people’s minds when thinking of a place for a date night. This venue is known for bringing in the hottest house DJs (such as Avicii, Kaskade and Deadmau5) into their state of the art nightclub fitted with stripper poles, 20 foot long Egyptian Angle Wings and Co2 cryogenic smoke tanks. However, some forget to realize that right next door to this over the top club is a quiet, “Garden of Eden” inspired lounge. Without having to leave the venue, you can sit on the fur swings and enjoy the lounge’s signature cocktails, which are said to enhance one’s skin and revitalize the body, while over looking the rare imported European Silver Birch trees. In the summer there is also a retractable roof that may be open depending on the weather to further enhance the mood of the evening. However, Provocateur is easily one of the hardest doors to penetrate in New York City so getting in without a table reservation may be next to impossible. If money is not an issue, or if you are dating a Victoria Secret model, you can call Provocateur at 212-929-9036 to make a table reservation for the evening.
