EMPLOYEES ONLY

If the name itself isn’t indicative of the exclusive and swanky atmosphere, know that this hidden West Village speakeasy is a beloved staple for frequent date-nighters. Hidden behind a deceptive neon psychic storefront sign, Employees Only is exactly the dimly-lit restaurant/bar to spice up the possibility of another humdrum first date. Of course, in the case that an attraction does spark during your time here, it’s the perfect bar to look back on throughout the rest of your long and beautiful matrimony to said date. And if not, sneak upstairs for a tarot card reading from the actual psychic and figure out how long the wait is until you meet the ACTUAL one.
