Ready for some romance? Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and straight into a dream called the River Cafe. From the sweeping skyline views to the delicious food, this is one spot that's earned its stripes over the years. Dinner is served as a fixed price affair for $145 or as the six-course chef's signature tasting menu for $175. While the menu is subject to changes, you can expect new American bites such as smoked salmon with sturgeon caviar, créme fraîche, pumpernickel, herb leaves, or the Colorado rack of lamb with Swiss chard cannelloni, Sicilian pistachio, arugula pesto, whipped ricotta.
