Casual/Romantic Downtown dinner...

[mattbardi]

Any romantic spots downtown for dinner. Nothing too fancy, just a casual but romantic spot for 2nd date. And of course inexpensive! :)

Alta is a nice choice.

I'm a big fan of Max in the east village. Great Italian American food, bustling but definitely dark enough to be romantic and quite inexpensive. The lasagna is especially to die for. If a guy took me there, I would definitely go out with him again! ;)

How about Market Table on Carmine Street? Nice, neighborhood spot with reasonable prices. Has a hip, yet friendly and familiar feel. Very good food in the farm-to-table style.

Probably from Union Square down, and around 15-20 for an entree I guess would be inexpensive.

What is your budget for the whole meal, everything included?

[mattbardi]

I guess I would say around 60?

Inexpensive and downtown can mean a lot of things... IS not above Union Square Downtown? and is 20-25 for main courses inexpensive?

What does "inexpensive" mean for you, including tax, tip and drinks?

[mattbardi]

Just the food itself.
