Any dinner in the city would be incomplete without dessert. Break the routine up a bit and ask for the check without dessert. Tell your date you want to go for a walk and end up at Magnolia’s Bakery. The popular wait outside of the shop (even at 11 p.m.) will give you plenty of time to chat and get to know each other, digest your previous meal, and make room for sharing a cupcake…or two! (Bonus points: mention that these are the cupcakes in SNL’s “Lazy Sunday” video. Begin hour-long discussion on all-time favorite skits).
