Where do you bring your friend group for great martinis, sumptuous sashimi, and a see-and-be-seen vibe? BondST, a Japanese restaurant in Manhattan’s NoHo, clearly does the trick for Taylor, as she’s had many a girls night in the buzzy downtown brownstone. In 2023, she was photographed leaving a dinner with Selena Gomez, Sophie Turner, Brittany Mahomes, Gigi Hadid, and Cara Delevingne; in 2024, she and Travis visited for a double date with Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley. Nobu Fifty Seven<\/a> and Lure Fishbar<\/a> have also been known to be frequented by Taylor for a sushi fix.<\/p>\n

Once a hangout for writers like Dylan Thomas, Ernest Hemingway, and E. E. Cummings, this Greenwich Village icon was reopened as a French bistro by restaurateur Keith McNally in 2009 and remains a magnet for famous creatives. When Taylor dined here with Phoebe Bridgers in 2023, McNally shared a bit of what they ate in an Instagram post<\/a>: baked oysters, foie gras, scallops, Dover sole, and lobster vol-au-vent. To drink? The restaurant’s Rhubarb Sophie cocktail, with vodka, cucumber, agave nectar, rhubarb bitters, and lime.<\/p>\n

As a Tribeca resident, Ms. Swift is most frequently seen downtown. But when she does go north, you might find her at this Midtown restaurant, which has been a celeb favorite since 1936. Located inside the historic Hotel Elys\u00e9e<\/a>, you’ll find mood lighting, red booths, and a giant Jazz Age mural alongside dirty martinis, truffle monkey bread, and Wagyu cheeseburgers. Selena Gomez and Taylor have enjoyed dinner here together.<\/p>\n

Bars<\/p>\n

\u201cDive bar on the East Side, where you at?\u201d is a classic line from Taylor’s 2017 song \u201cDelicate,\u201d and many Swifties believe it to be referencing Lovers of Today, a snug speakeasy-style bar on East 7th with a neon heart sign above the entrance. Meet your friends\u2014or your lover\u2014in the back for happy hour and sample the Handsome Devil cocktail (get the \u201cCruel Summer\u201d connection?), made with tequila, fresh lime, and lavender honey.<\/p>\n
