"NEW YORK CITY -- A New York City restaurant in the East Village is experiencing a resurgence after being featured in FX's 'Love Story' as the first date spot of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bassette's first date spot. Since the actors shared their first date dinner on screen, Panna II Garden Indian Restaurant has seen a surge in reservations. Although the two didn't exactly have their first date at the restaurant, they did frequent the restaurant often during off-hours."
""Usually before six so they would come before rush hour and be the only ones," owner Boshir Khan said. He said the couple would stay away from paparazzi and hide under the famous lights inside the restaurant. Sex and the City and Daredevil were also filmed inside the restaurant. After 'Love Story' premiered, Khan said business has gone up anywhere from 20 to 70 percent."
