Daniel Holzman, The Meatball Shop
Diner - Williamsburg
Super casual yet it still has an unique elegance, plus their food is some of the best in the 'hood using top notch ingredients.
Okonomi - Williamsburg
Okonomi is cooking some of the best Japanese food in the entire city. Only a few tables in the restaurant, but I prefer to snag seats at the bar. Or if you can make a reservation for their tasting menu on the weekends, you're guaranteed an amazing night.
Olmsted - Prospect Heights
Just went there the other night and it's my new favorite restaurant. Believe the hype. Their backyard, a bottle of wine, and their stellar food makes a perfect late summer evening date.
Dinner at my House
Let's be real, when I'm really trying to impress my lady I'm cooking for her!
