Sip an amazing coffee in the middle of Williamsburg’s industrial neighborhood at NYC’s newest coffee shop, Devoción. Red brick walls surround brown furnishings, from leather sofas to brass tables.

Henry Matisse once said, “There are always flowers for those who want to see them.” And we disagree with this approach a lot, especially when it comes to love: Not only do we recommend getting the best out of dates and meeting new people, but we also think you should be surrounded by flowers while you’re doing it.
