First thing I thought of was: La Esquina. You''ll have to make reservations and I don''t know how hard it is to get into anymore. There was a time when you couldn''t even book two months out. Maybe if you tell them you are planning to propose they will get you in. This resturaunt has a take out place in front and you''d never know that there is a romantic dining area downstairs but you have to walk through the kitchen to get there. Its perfect for a proposal and I doubt she would expect it. Its also very moderatly priced. Living here for years, if my boyfriend took me to Tavern on the Green or Two if By Sea and some of the other well known places, I think I might suspect something. Then again, you can''t go wrong with any of them. La Esquina is great if you want something unique and romantic.
They could go to La Esquina and then Pegu Club and then Pravda, since it is down there too. They make the best cucumber martini! Wait...I think I just planned my ideal proposal...or at least a great date.Date: 10/9/2007 11:15:23 AM

Good call on La Esquina, that''d probably be my first choice as well. A great combination of sexy, secret and surprisingly tasty food.
In a more conventional romantic, River Cafe in Brooklyn would probably make the list.
Per Se, good luck getting reservations!
For a great pre/post-dinner cocktail, Pegu Club on Houston St is (IMO) the premier gin bar in town.
