Cheater eaters’ hot spots

They’re loyal regulars — but not loyal spouses.

New Yorkers have more “affair dates” at Blue Fin in Times Square than at any other restaurant in the city, according to a survey by a Web site that promotes infidelity.

Ashleymadison.com says the upscale seafood joint is the city’s most popular “cheaters restaurant” because it’s a centrally located hub for business meetings — making the bill easy to pass off as work-related.

“You can put it on your credit card and not worry about your partner seeing that you went somewhere romantic like Per Se,” says Web site CEO Noel Biderman.

Plus, it’s located inside the W Hotel, where cheaters can easily escape for some privacy, Biderman said.

The survey — conducted among 4,852 of the site’s users — tallied up the 10 most popular affair restaurants, most of which are steakhouses and chain restaurants in Manhattan.

Exactly 314 people said they go to Blue Fin; 298 said Morton’s The Steakhouse and 252 answered Cipriani, an Italian eatery.

Few two-timers named ma and pa-style restaurants because they’re worried about getting caught — or tainting their favorite spot, Biderman said.

During the survey, representatives asked interview subjects, “Have you dined out with your affair partner? What restaurant(s)?”

Most are in Midtown likely because it’s an easy meet up point, Biderman said.

Hotspots such as Momofuku in and Beauty and Essex in the Lower East Side also made the scandalous list.

Other restaurants on the include Ruth’s Chris, Del Frisco’s and the Palm, according to the survey.

Most cheaters said distance from home and atmosphere are important than the food itself. And the most popular time to two-time is around 6:30 pm on Wednesdays.

Biderman said the site conducted the survey “to get inside the mind of a cheater,” noting he learned there’s an element of courtship when it comes to affairs.

“It’s almost traditional. Men want to impress — even in the realm of an affair,” he said.
