These two have it all. Undeniable talent. Good looks. And access to the most difficult and hottest reservations to get in town. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s date night restaurants have hit a new level of tops in NYC.

The Corner Store

Neighborhood: Soho

Whatever they’re doing at The Corner Store, they’re doing right, because this is the hardest reservation in NYC right now. The Corner Store is part of the group that owns Catch. We have to hand it to their founders Mark Birnbaum and Eugene Remm, whose partnership of 24 years is longer than most marriages. They’re not resting on their laurels though, like most who make it that far in a real-life marriage — but innovating instead. Enter The Corner Store, which opened in the old Dos Caminos space on Houston in Soho. There’s not a remnant of sombrero left though in this New American restaurant that focuses on elevating the basics.

It’s no surprise this made it onto the circuit of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s date night restaurants, because the food speaks comfort. As high-profile as Taylor and Travis are, they are consistently down-to-earth, but of course, elevated. The menu has a spinach dip, Totino-inspired pizza rolls, French dip, and a Caesar salad with fried cream cheese croutons that apparently are life-changing. There’s a lobster frites, lobster rolls with caviar, and steak frites for those feeling more flush. Their desserts have a Girl Scout cookie-inspired Samoa Sunday and apple pies, which are as New American as it gets.

You can get lucky; two of our Galavante members walked in at 8:00pm on a Friday for the bar. However, don’t count on it. Sell one of your kidneys, get on Resy at 10:00am up to 14 days in advance, or beg for a bar seat at 5pm. However you’re not going to see Taylor and Travis at this hour. In fact, much of the other crowd we’ve heard is influencers at the moment. The food though, by all accounts, is well worth it — Taylor or not.

Torrisi

Neighborhood: Soho

The other thing that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce date night restaurants tell you is that they have good taste. It was a double-header of top NYC restaurants when Taylor and Travis went to Torrisi the very next night after The Corner Store. A little history; Torrisi is what started it all, over twenty years ago in Nolita. It’s hard to believe that Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi were not always masters of the universe. Their empire started out with a tiny boîte of a restaurant on Mulberry Street. They made their mozzarella fresh, so it came out warm to your table, and from there, you just knew something special was born. Brick walls were lined with cans of tomatoes and it was basic wooden tables for the 20+ seats in the house. The price was $50 for a prix fixe meal that changed all the time. No matter what was on the menu, they took the ordinary to the next level. Sometimes their menu included gnudi, which was our first taste ever of this pasta and began a lifelong love affair.

Today their digs are much more lavish in the Puck building. It was hard to get in before, but now is a different story (though of course, for Taylor and Travis, the regular rules don’t apply). Torrisi continues to astound: they will take a cucumber and somehow transform it into a Michelin-level dish. This is one of the restaurants that’s not just hype, and certainly has no attitude. In a portfolio of restaurants that are all good, Torrisi is near the top of its siblings, which includes Carbone, The Grill, Sadelle’s, and Lobster Club.

How Mere Mortals Get a Reservation:

You can have better luck on Resy and also sneak into the bar if you show up early. However, if you show up after 7:30pm on a Saturday, you’ll be #42 on the list for a seat. Otherwise, go for lunch, which is much easier table-wise.
