The weather is getting chilly and it’s a good time to find a partner in crime to pass the cold winter months, eat great food, watch Netflix, and of course “chill.” It’s also a great time to re-kindle those long term relationships and marriages!

For the parents, the kids are back at school, so you can focus your attention on each other now!

We rounded out our top 10 favorite date night spots. Send this to your boo and make it a date.

1. Cellar335

335 Newark Ave

I’ve been here four times since the Cellar opened. This has easily become my favorite date night spots. We love sharing the drinks that are made for 2 like the “Pele’s Awa” . The bites are perfect for sharing, which makes for an extra romantic experience, and the ambiance is sexy. Cellar 335 is definitely my personal favorite date night spot, whether you’ve been together forever or on your first date (maybe more like a third date).

Order this: Pele’s Awa and crack fries.

2. Madame Claude Bis

390 4th Street

Madame Claude Bis recently moved to a new location, in the basement of White Eagle Hall (which is coincidentally next to Cellar 335). This French bistro is super cute and a perfect place to share a nice bottle of wine. Pro-tip: go on a Thursday night to see band Manouche Bag play live, it’s a treat!

Order this: steak frites and escargot.

3. Laico’s

67 Terhune Ave

Laico’s opened in 1972 and has been around for decades. Located in Greenville, tucked in a residential street, it has an old school Italian feel to it with fresh and delicious food. Laico’s is a super cute spot, especially for a comforting Italian meal. On your right, you’ll see a new couple. On your left, you’ll see a couple who’ve been together for 50 years. It’s super cute, especially on a weekend.

Order this: Paglia e Fieno with Shrimp and Scallops in a Vodka Cream Sauce and bottle of red wine

4. Satis

212 Washington St

Satis is a nice mediterranean restaurant located in Paulus Hook in Downtown JC. Brunch here is amazing! It’s a super cozy date spot for the morning after.

Order this: cheese and charcuterie plate to share and Braised Heirloom Carrot Tagine

5. Renato’s 

278 Central Ave

When you walk into Renato’s, it’s like you’re walking into a pizza place, but the restaurant is toward the back. Very Goodfellas. When you’re here, you feel like you’re in an old gangster film! The staff is super-friendly. Comfort food makes for a really great date! #comfortfoodandchill

Order this: Penne a la vodka

6. Battello

502 Washington Blvd

One word: views. You can’t beat having a romantic dinner on the waterfront. This is a great spot if you’re looking for a fancy dinner, especially if you’re in the dog house. They have a great cocktail menu and the food is always on point!

Order this: black sea bass and the ricotta gnocchi

7. Edward’s Steakhouse

239 Marin Blvd

A classic spot. It’s a traditional steakhouse, very cozy, sexy. A great place to eat if you want to get close to your date.

Order: Dry Aged Porterhouse for two

8. Third and Vine

353 3rd St

Third and Vine have great drinks, cheeses, charcuterie, and an awesome selection of drinks. It’s very lowkey. You can wear what you’d like and it’s never crazy packed. It’s definitely underrated!

Order this: Deviled eggs and ask your server for their drink specials

9. Dullboy

364 Grove St

A sexy speakeasy bar in Downtown JC. It’s not really a sit-down dinner. Grab a cozy spot or booth. order from the sexy cocktail menu, and whisper sweet nothings into each other’s ear. Go on a Wednesday – Stadium Status is the DJ of the night. Bring a vinyl record and get a free shot! Music is always on point on Wednesdays.

Order this: the gimlet and some oysters (fun fact: oysters are actually an aphrodisiac…you’re welcome)

10. The Archer

176 Newark Ave

If you want to feel like you’re in a rustic cabin in the Catskills, go to The Archer. The bites are delicious and great for sharing. All cocktails are on point. The food is very different here, but super delicious!

Order this: the elk meatball sliders or the duck poutine
