"This Corktown cocktail bar and distillery is a favorite for dates. It’s quiet, but not too quiet. Nice, but not too fancy. And the drinks are consistently good. Order a classic Manhattan while your date tries a seasonal selection. Need a bite to eat? Two James regularly hosts pop-ups and is surrounded by excellent restaurants including scene-y Northern Thai favorite Takoi and sister restaurant, Supergeil." - Serena Maria Daniels
