Date night in New York City-what to do ?

We all get busy -but its important to remember to take time for what's important to you :) for me,its family and friends

As is the case with many urban relationships-we're both busy professionals but its important to us,to take time and enjoy each others company,and that of our friends. But this Saturday night-the weather was fabulous and it was just the two of us ! A night to catch up and just be us ....

We started out on the UES at Uptown Lounge (1576 Third Ave- between 88-89th streets) ,for a bit of happy hour and trying to decide where to go and what to do. Dinner ? Movie ? Music ?

Almost opted to stay local- I'm a huge fan of being able to walk home :) after an evening out,go see "Date Night" down the block at the Loews Orpheum on 86th,and dinner at Lili's Noodle Shop (on 85th) but thought let's head down to the LES and try our hand at catching some live music ! (Like the nights we had when we first met ...-which interestingly enough was on the LES listening to live music! )

M15 here we come ! Early enough to catch a limited,saving that long cross town walk...and drops us off right across from Rockwood Music Hall(on Allen ,just off Houston)- which was PACKED,so much so not even standing room for us to go in... Another plus about riding buses- being above ground and spotting places you want to go as you watch neighborhoods in Manhattan transition,each with their own unique flavor.

We decided to try and check out the Meatball Shop( on Stanton just off allen-go !)- which was super full (and I'm glad ,not just to see a new restaurant busy,but because two of the owners are fellow LaG aka FAME school alums !) . So we went to one of our favs- Pala Pizza (wonderful as always,super busy,even more so when we left) and popped over to Living Room for a bit,then a nice stroll thru the Bowery and then northbound to get home.

We love Pala Pizza- great food,super fresh,nice wine list and wonderful service. Good for two or even large groups (call and make a ressie if you want to come with a large group) - worth checking out AND making a trip for. Great for groups, they even have some great items for those who need gluten free choices !Oh and PS- try the specials of the day !

Great to see New Yorkers of all ages out enjoying the city and its offerings :)

So that was our night-what did you do on such a superb spring Saturday in the Big Apple ?
