Hudson Clearwater isn't new, but even years after opening, it's still one of the best spots in town. With a back patio that's to die for, the cozy space oozes that quaint, romantic charm that you can only find in the West Village. But it's not just the room or the adorable outdoor patio that will have you ooo-ing and ahh-ing: the food's also top-notch. From house-made fresh linguine to seared Long Island duck breast, this is New American done very well, with a stellar wine and cocktail list to boot. Hudson Clearwater is a great third date spot or the perfect place for an anniversary celebration.
