While New York seems very far away from a cozy cabin in the woods, where you can cuddle up next to a fire, there is a way to get close (or as close as it gets) to recreating this experience in the city. On those cold winter nights, head out to pretend you sitting around a campfire, outside your cabin, looking up at the stars with someone special.

THE FIRST

Henry’s End: To get in the spirit, head over to Henry’s End for their annual Wild Game menu. This menu includes items like Gnocchi with Wild Boar Ragout, Venison, and Herb Crusted Elk Chops. Let someone else do the hunting and cooking- you can just pretend you spent your day in the woods. According to Yelp reviews, it can get crowded so either call ahead (718-834-1776) or make a reservation if you have a party of three or more.

THE SECOND

Black Mountain Wine House: After filling up on game, head over to the Black Mountain Wine House, regarded as one of the most romantic date spots in Brooklyn. They only have wine and beer for drinks, but they do have a fireplace and it feels like a quaint little cottage.

415 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

THE THIRD

Camp: Finish up the night with a time old dessert- s’mores! If you are looking for a cozy, blast from the past, check out Camp. At camp you can not only get a cocktail, but you can also roast a marshmallow. What better way to cozy up to you new (or old) special someone? They even have Big Bunk Hunter so you can continue to pretend you’re not in New York.
