A Date Night from Ceviche to House Sets
A sweet finish and coffee lead into an old-world pub with ample seating, comedy, and happy-hour drinks. House music, lounge sofas, and a dance floor extend the evening, while the first stop is closed Mondays.
Dinner to Dance
Forest Hills First Course
Start at Amar Peruvian Kitchen, a family-run neighborhood restaurant on Austin Street. The broad menu covers empanadas, lomo saltado, chicharrón sandwiches, tamales, and pollo a la brasa with rice, beans, plantains, and salchipapas. Shrimp ceviche gives the table a seafood option, while coffee, dessert, and cocktails can extend the meal. Service runs Tuesday through Sunday, 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM. Mondays are closed. The address is 68-60 Austin St.
Uptown Laughs, Late Hours
Le Chéile brings the route into Washington Heights at 839 W 181st St, a short walk from the George Washington Bridge. This two-story Irish pub combines an old-world room and ample seating with house beers, five dollar wines during happy hour, and comedy. The kitchen covers pub grub and New American entrees. Larger groups should plan around the no-split-bill policy. Thursday through Sunday service runs until 2:00 AM.
Broadcast Afterglow
Mad Radio NYC brings the route to 395 Wythe Ave in Williamsburg, with underground house, live DJs, and a dedicated dance floor. Its high-caliber sound system carries the room through late-night sets. A laid-back lounge adds comfortable sofas and a photo booth for drinks and conversation. The venue opens at 6:00 PM Wednesday through Sunday, with Friday and Saturday service ending at 4:00 AM. Online tickets may be required for some DJ performances.
