These mouth-watering burgers are being served daily at Nombe, a trendy, Tokyo-style izakaya located in San Francisco’s Mission District. You and your bagel can try Chef Mari Takahashi’s renowned burger in all its glory, a beautiful concoction of pork belly and Wagyu beef burger sandwiched between a crispy ramen bun and garnished with tomato, mizuna salad, caramelized onions, pickled Japanese cucumbers, and wasabi aioli.  Soak in the chill atmosphere and unwind over sake and shochu cocktails.  Don’t forget to try other Nombe fan favorites like the pork belly, black cod, and bacon wrapped mochi!

We’re back with our Throwback Week series, where we bring you fun & original date ideas in your local city. We just covered  LA, SF, and now we’re coming for you, East Coasters, starting with classic first date ideas in NYC!

Catch a Broadway Show
Nothing beats Broadway in the heart of the Big Apple, where shows go on all year. Though popular favorites are Wicked, Lion King, and Phantom of the Opera, couples also love Book of Mormon and Chicago the Musical. Sing your heart out, Bagels!

Cruise to Lady Liberty
Cruise the Hudson River and take a visit to see the Statue of Liberty with Statue Cruises. Tickets are at most, $20, to priority access to the actual statue herself.

A timeless classic, even approved by royal couple Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip in 1957, the cruise is always a romantic getaway in the heart of the Hudson.

Concerts in Central Park 
You can do more than just grab coffee (and a bagel!) while on your stroll through Central Park. Every summer, the City Parks Foundation puts on a SummerStage festival. With performances on the daily, Summer Stage has brought a wide range of artists like Zooey Deschanel’s She & Him, M83, and Amos Lee. Though events require tickets, most are free. Best of all, it’s all outdoors so you can soak up that summer sun! Download their app for on-the-go event schedules and artist performances.

3 Reasons to Check it Out

  1. Drinking Games with the cast- this play gets the audience involved by interspersing drinking games into the show! Play Never Have I Ever or Would You Rather right along with the cast.
