I have explored most of New York City, and my favorite area is hands

down the West Village. A great little eatery in the area is

Moustache, located on a leafy, brownstone-lined street. They

serve some of the city’s best Middle Eastern food and it packs

in a neighborhood crowd nightly. It’s likely to see a line outside the

no-reservation spot, but it is worth the wait. The freshly baked

pitas, still puffed up with hot air when served, are perfect for

scooping up the baba ghanoush. There are plenty of places on

the block to grab a quiet cocktail after dinner or just stroll around

the ‘hood for a romantic evening.
