Sugar Rush: Raspberry Rugelach at Russ & Daughters
Though not necessarily fancy or unique, Citarella's rugelach are nice and flaky and feature copious amounts of chocolate chips.
Birthday dinner - romantic, excellent food, budget-ish?
I recently had a lovely meal at James in Prospect Heights. The atmosphere was great--simple yet innovative decor, nice lighting, definitely on the romantic side, and the food was really good. I highly recommend the oysters, which were some of the freshest I've ever had (the app is kinda pricey, though, at $16.) Most of the entrees were priced between $19 and $24. We walked in on a Friday at around 8:45 and only had to wait about 5 minutes; I don't think they take reservations for two.
Also, both Frankies Spuntinos (in LES and Carroll Gardens) are always a good bet if you're in the mood for fresh, deceptively simple Italian. Nice decor, though a tad tight and really reasonable prices. Their gnocchi is divine. Alas, no reservations!
And finally: have only been for brunch, but Back Forty in the East Village was delicious and very reasonable (most everything under $20). I believe they have a back garden, which could be fun. Not sure of their reservation policy.
Illy Espresso Machine Giveaway from 'Edible Brooklyn'
Abraco, for sure. I was there to sample some sweets, and the owner surprised me with a complimentary iced coffee--it was divine!

I really like Banjara on 1st and 6th for their tandoori specialties. Service can be really slow, though.
