Speaking of dates - they have an unwritten rule of a 15% tip minimum and I've seen them ask several people to cough up more money. Make sure to tip well to avoid an embarrassment on a date. Wait is quite okay unless you come at 8pm on Friday when most places in East Village are packed.
You may have to wait a bit for a seat (especially on weekends), but so long as you're not starving and actually want to talk to your date, it shouldn't be a problem.
yes!
