Dear Strangers promises epicurean transcendence, since this new hotspot comes courtesy of alums of cocktail culture pioneer Employees Only. The interiors are absolutely stunning, with regal blue seating, intricately patterned tile flooring, and elegant, quite expensive-looking woodwork. Signature cocktails like the Pineapple Paloma and the Shakemaker (a sort of Japanese G&T) are presented like design objects; and there are Latin-inspired shareable plates like spicy shrimp tostada and bone-in short rib w/ black bean & Mexican chorizo puree. This is a can’t-miss date spot, to show off your excellent taste.
