Type of Date: Let’s end this bidding war
It’s time to take your date #3 and slide up north to Auction House hidden in the Upper East Side. Walking down the residential 89th Street, it is easy to walk right past this bar, if not for the American Flag in the window. However, once you open the door to this dimly lit antique feel bar and get a drink in your hand, it is time to get the bidding started. As you scan the room, you can clearly see that the Auction House is a discussion piece in it’s own. Between the old velvet couches, mahogany dressed wood and nude portraits hanging from the walls, there is plenty to catch your eye, and his. The Bible aptly names the Auction House a diamond in the rough.
If your plan is to make a minimum bid with your man, then a drink or two at Auction House will definitely suffice. However, if you want make this date a little more dynamic, perhaps start at casual at Cascabel Taqueria (80th & 2nd) or Shake Shack (86th & 3rd) and then get a little closer on the velvet of the Auction House.
Like Salt n’ Peppa once wisely said, we all want a mighty good man (click it!), so if date #3 just isn’t your thing…pass him along to the next highest bidder.
