Tarallucci e Vino @ Cooper Hewitt Museum

Tarallucci is a restaurant and wine bar with several locations across New York. This small cafe is tucked inside the Cooper Hewitt Museum along 5th Avenue. If you start your date night early and want to relax outside a bit, grab a glass of wine and sit or stroll the gardens of the Cooper Hewitt. Note that the cafe closes early (between 5-7pm most nights), so if you’re looking to grab a pre dinner drink later than that, you can always continue the evening at Eli’s Essentials and Wine Bar on 91st and Madison (open until 9pm most nights). Either way you can’t go wrong.
