Last chance to book restaurants for Valentine’s Day
Aquavit
Who says you have to spend Valentine’s Day over dinner? Aquavit has a few daytime reservations left for the most romantic day of the year. Reserve Emma Bengtsson’s four-course tasting menu, and you can tack on an optional wine pairing.
Cost: $195 per person; wine pairing for $155 per person
More to love: For extra decadence, put in an order of heart-shaped Semla, a cardamom-scented Swedish bun, on the way out.
Cosme
Enrique Olvera’s contemporary Mexican restaurant still has a few spots left for dinner. He’s whipped up a few specialties for the day, namely Duck Breast with a rose mole and Esquites elevated with black truffle.
Cost: A la carte
More to love: Spoon up something special by ordering the Chocolate + Strawberry Sundae for dessert.
Scarpetta
This NoMad restaurant for all things fine and Italian is offering a specially curated four-course prix fixe dinner. Start with a selection of crudo (we vote for the Seared Diver Scallops) and follow up with mains that include the Branzino with leeks, asparagus and an artichoke puree or the Prime Sirloin.
Cost: $159 per person
More to love: If you just can’t swing coming in on VDay, Scarpetta is celebrating love all weekend long with their exclusive specials including their Caviar Pasta.
ONE Dine at One World Observatory
Let your love soar to new heights this Valentine’s Day. Located 101 floors up above the city, the 360-degree observatory gives striking views of the city. Admire the sights while you dine on chef Reuel Vincent’s four-course dinner. Additionally, each ticket includes a cocktail, including their signature VDay special.
Cost: $300 per person
More to love: Reserve the 5:30pm table to watch the sun dip over the horizon and see the city lights come to life.
K’Far
We praised K’Far’s “sprawling, airy and lofty but still intimate” interior with its “verdant atrium” when we reviewed it in 2023, making it a shoo-in for date night, especially tomorrow night. There are plenty of tables for K’Far’s four-course VDay tasting, including many of their hits like the Hummus, Fennel Caesar, Chicken Schnitzel, and Whole Branzino. Dinner finishes with a special Lemon Mousse or Ugat Biskvitim, a traditional Israeli layered biscuit and coffee cake.
Cost: $95 per person
More to love: Is there anything more romantic than the Bone-in Short Rib for two?
When in doubt…
If dinner just isn't in the cards this year, pick up something sweet for your sweetie. Breads Bakery is making rosewater-infused rugelach, cheekily-named Roselach, and Hazelnut Shortbread Sandwich Cookies with a yuzu caramel.
