The three things you need to know today in New York: Fri February 2

1. Start celebrating Valentine’s Day early with the Love Series at Nitehawk Cinema. Now through February 24, see screenings of the most romantic and sexiest movies at the dine-in theater. 

2. One of the best Friday-night parties in New York is Hot Rabbit at Drom. It will feature aerialists, go-go dancers and so much more.
