Just in time for Valentine's Day, Pink Pier is back at Pier 15 with over-the-top decor, photo opps, and themed food—all perfectly pink. Watermark, the 10,000-square-foot outdoor bar and restaurant along the East River, has been transformed into this pink paradise.
Whether you're celebrating the season with a Valentine, a gal-entine, a pal-entine, or just your fabulous self, Pink Pier makes for a fun spot to go out. Tickets are on sale here.

Here's how it works: There are several ticket options, starting at $19 for general admission, then increasing in price with different food options. For example, a general admission ticket will get you into the experience, plus includes a themed cocktail and two macarons per person. If you want to go really fancy, book a private igloo for you and your sweetie; those cost $250 and include a three-course dining experience with pink tea, charcuterie for the table, one main entree per guest, and a pink dessert item.
Igloos are heated, so you'll stay warm on even the coldest winter nights. General admission tickets offer an outdoor experience with some communal benches and a fire pit.
As for the menu, some highlights include pan-roasted Atlantic salmon, wild mushroom ravioli, and a signature burger. Be sure to save room for dessert, like a pink cheesecake or macarons. If you go for brunch, a few fun items are added to the menu: The Think Pink smoothie bowl and the Pretty in Pink pancakes with pink buttercream frosting and raspberries.
The drink menu is worth toasting to with its long list of pink drinks, from the Pink Bubble Bath served with cotton candy to the Burning Passion with graham cracker-infused booze.
No matter when you go, the experience promises a romantic dining destination. You’ll enter through a floral hallway that sets the stage for what’s ahead. Pink and red flowers abound, twinkly lights illuminate the space, and heart installations make for excellent photo backdrops. Ribbons, bows, and garlands fill every spare space for the ultimate coquette aesthetic.

It's not just about social media, though. Pink Pier delivers on a special and sweet experience that's so on point it seems that you might see Cupid flitting about in the skyline.
