As fall weather sets in, we say goodbye to outdoor cafe’s and welcome warm bars and restaurants where we can hunker down for the night. Here are my favorite intimate spots– perfect for sharing a bottle of wine or munchies with loved ones.

1.Wilfie & Nell – New York

Wilfie & Nell

228 w. 4th St

Rustic, sophisticated, and charming underground pub with a smart-looking crowd.

2. Bianca – New York

Bianca

5 Bleeker St

Like going to grandma’s for good Italian cooking, the homey feel of this quaint restaurant warms the soul.

3. The Scratcher – New York

The Scratcher

209 E. 5th St

For how laid-back and inviting this pub is, it makes perfect sense that it’s name refers to “bed” in Dublin slang.

4. Ninth Ward – New York

Ninth Ward

180 Second Ave

Dark New Orleans-themed bar with a stained-glass window detail, a fireplace mantel and wooden alcoves for canoodling.

5. Mexican Radio – New York

Mexican Radio

19 Cleveland Pl

Mexican comfort food at it’s finest, without all the kitschy decor.
