For those dates when you don’t want to look like you’re trying too hard, but obviously still need to try just a little hard, go to Pinch. This Upper East Side spot is casual enough where your date won’t be scared that you’re about to propose, but the excellent whole calamar and spicy brussels sprouts will show them that you know where to find very good food, which might lead to marriage eventually – especially if you take them back for lunch or brunch when Pinch serves their fantastic burger.
