I hear ya, IT!
I can't really offer much advice on where to eat out in E"Y, especially since the controversial situation with rabbanut mehadrin has taken away all the interesting, fun restaurants that I used to go to.
If you need advice in america, though, I'd be happy to help - I'm in shidduchim (or (sigh) I used to be, and hope to be again soon), so I do get to go out on a somewhat regular basis, depending on when both I and my date feel comfortable with going out to eat...
Of course, that also means that I'm open to suggestions of good places to go!
To be honest, though, not a huge fan of poppers - too spicy for my tastes.
