What do you call a mature lounge in Murray Hill with patrons who don't wear baseball hats? A figment of your imagination? Stone Creek is the exception that might prove your sanity yet. Set on a quiet block off of the Third Avenue strip, Stone Creek could easily be the bar inside of Pottery Barn, if it had a bar. All the furniture is cool, comfy and clean; think "farmhouse chic." This is a great date place to share lobster mac-n-cheese and it's somewhere to unwind after work with a Belgian beer. Flat-screen TVs sometimes show rad surfing videos, dude and other times they feature mood-enhancing visuals. If that gets you in the mood, grab your date by the hand, head to a banquette in the backroom and let the drinks work their magic.
