It's easy to pass Bleu Bistro without a second glance, given the array of more attractive restaurants and boutiques that make up Broadway's strip. But beyond its uninviting exterior lies a peculiarly charming gem that serves up rich pasta dishes, stiff drinks, and romance. The dark space is lit with candles and Christmas lights. Most of the tables seat two, and have velvet curtains that can be drawn for privacy. The wooden walls of each nook are covered in old gum and Sharpie-scrawled declarations of love like "Jenny is beautiful." Servers wisely keep the interruptions to a minimum if they sense you're on a date. Translation: You've got some serious time intervals during which you can suck face. Just keep it PG-rated. Tiny surveillance cameras are angled strategically toward the private booths, and you don't want any incriminating evidence showing up on YouTube.—Erika Hobart
