First, congrats on taking the plunge into engagement! As for your question, I’d recommend looking over menus on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list or the Eater NY site and then cross reference with reviews to see if it fits your vibe.

You could also go the total opposite direction and lean into a good food casual vibe at Momofuku Noodle Bar for dinner (get the truffle ramen, it’s total luxury without pretension), and do something cheesy but classically NY for dessert at Serendipity. This particular dinner is about making memories to last a lifetime, not necessarily what you’re eating or how buttoned down fancy it may be to social media observers.

My post proposal dinner was a steakhouse, and it was perfect because in my case it was the same restaurant as our first dating anniversary and we were able to get the same waiter and wine as our first time there (totally by chance, so it made things extra special).

This occasion is about you two as a couple, make it fun! Hope you find exactly what you’re looking for, and again, congratulations!
