Fodor's Expert Review Temple Bar
East Village
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Unmarked and famous for its classic cocktails and romantic atmosphere, Temple is prime date territory, especially once you drift past the sleek bar to the back, where, swathed in almost complete darkness, you can lounge on a comfy banquette, order an old-fashioned or other sophisticated cocktail, and invest in some fine conversation.
