E Pender St, Chinatown

More info

The date

Meo sits at the bottom of the stairs below Michelin-starred Kissa Tanto, the Bao Bei team's vision of a 1970s love motel that aged extremely well: dim red light, velvet everything, and a jukebox you control yourself. Order the Matcha Highball, pick a record, and let the 1970s take the wheel until it closes at 2am on weekends.

How to do it

Take the stairs down from Kissa Tanto into the soft red light, claim the jukebox, and order the Matcha Highball or the Paloma, both on every must-order list, with a few sharp little snacks to stay grounded. This is a sit-close, lose-track-of-time room. Weekends run to 2am, so settle in for a slow two hours, pick a record, order a second round, and stay. The velvet does the romancing for you.
