Do Hwa:
If you’re tired of questionable takeout, but can’t afford Nobu, have no fear—Do Hwa is here. Get cozy with your date at this Korean restaurant/lounge with “BBQ for Two,” where you can cook your meals at your very own grilling table. And if DIY barbecuing brings to mind first-degree burns and Ace bandages, let Do Hwa’s capable chefs take care of the cooking for you. There are plenty of options if your date has been vegan since she saw Bambi, too. Order her a glass of ginger cinnamon champagne and sample the codfish and fried oysters while she tears into a kimchi and tofu stir-fry. Hunker down at Do Hwa for a classy evening of exotic dining. The helpful staff will take you baby-step style through all the basics of Korean cuisine.
