Down past Dirty, where West Sixth gets dark and quiet, is a plum-colored bungalow that’s just the right amount of fancy. Provocatively named cocktails pair perfectly with cheese plates and panna cotta, but their late-night vibe – complete with evergreen fake grass, candlelight, and lounge-worthy patio furniture – makes this spot ideal for making out. That, or for a spontaneous 11pm cornmeal funnel cake topped with seared foie gras, which is its own kind of love connection.
