On our first date, I whisked Sara away to some art galleries in Chelsea. Our favorite was an exhibit that arranged wooden colored pencils into sweet symphonies, as we whispered the same into each other's ears. As our senses enthralled, so did our appetites (naturally). For dinner, there were two choices... we flipped a coin and ended up at the uber romantic candlelight bistro, "Allen & Delancey"...
So, on our six month anniversary.. I decided to surprise Sara by going to the other side of the coin, Cafe Cluny. Set deep in the heart of the West Village, Cafe Cluny is a modern french bistro, famous for earthy home-grown creations, white-walled wooden motif... and most notably, for the giant stuffed tarantula hanging from the ceiling. Unlike Allen & Delancey's intricate flavors and deeply romantic setting... Cafe Cluny was warm, comfortable and easy, much like our relationship has become. Sitting by a perfectly framed picture-window, on a cute street in the West Village, we laughed knowing that the coin always lands where it is supposed to....
This place looks so lovely and warm even on the outside in this sepia-tinted image. And then, there is the bicycle leaning against the sign post. sounds like another winner, especially the kind of place thats nice in the winter months!
