If you’re like me and left your Valentine’s Day plans until the last minute, don’t worry—there are still plenty of romantic options available for you, whether you’re with a partner, a friend, or even flying solo.

Biga Bite

Embark on a unique culinary adventure with NYC’s first-ever Pizza Omakase at Biga Bite! This 8-course tasting menu for two, led by Chef Barbieri, redefines pizza with dishes like burrata and prawns with caviar, tableside cacio e pepe, and s’mores for dessert. The experience is available in vegetarian ($40) or non-vegetarian ($55) options, featuring seasonal ingredients and Chef Barbieri’s artistry. Enhance your meal with a curated wine pairing for $30.

Pink Taco

The renowned Pink Taco, famous for its vibrant Mexican-inspired street food and lively atmosphere, is celebrating Valentine’s Day by bringing back its Pink on Purpose a la carte menu. Signature bites include Taquitos, the iconic OG Pink Tacos, and Pink Fried Ice Cream topped with Fruity Pebbles for dessert. To add to the festive spirit, enjoy pink drinks like the signature Something Pink cocktail with El Jimador Blanco, prickly pear purée, lime juice, and agave nectar, or a Frozen Strawberry Margarita. Perfect for getting into the Valentine’s or Galentine’s Day mood!

The Stand

They say laughter is the most attractive quality, and the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach—luckily, The Stand both covered. This intimate comedy club and restaurant offers the perfect date night with top comedians and a brick oven menu. Before or after the show (or even during!), enjoy a Valentine’s Day Prix Fixe ($85 per person) featuring gourmet dishes like Amuse Bouche with caviar bumps, Rotisserie Herb Chicken, Roasted Duck, or Surf and Turf, and a sweet finish with Tiramisu or Baked New Yorker. Plus, cozy up with your date to catch legendary comedians like Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, and Louis CK, or surprise rising stars.

BLACKBARN Restaurant

Award-winning Chef/Owner John Doherty and Executive Chef Brian Fowler are offering a special a la carte menu or four-course pre-fixe for Valentine’s Day on February 14th and 15th at BLACKBARN. The a la carte menu includes favorites like Market Carrots & Kale Salad, Olive Oil Braised Octopus, Roasted Bone Marrow with Manilla clams, Butternut Squash Ravioli, and Herb Crusted Black Cod. The pre-fixe menu is $175 per person, with an optional $215 wine pairing. It starts with a choice of A Symphony of Caviar or Wild Mushroom Toast, followed by Sweet Potato Salad or Foie Gras Torchon, then Long Island Black Bass or Filet Mignon, and finishes with a Chocolate Caramel Pear Tart or Orange & Strawberry Eclair.

The Standard Grill

Sophisticated and timeless, The Standard Grill is the perfect destination for couples on Valentine’s Day—whether you’re in the honeymoon phase of a new romance or celebrating a decade together with something truly special. As always, the Grill’s specialty menus are a sure bet. This year, enjoy dishes like the flavorful Tuno Crudo ($23), tender Red Wine Braised Short Rib ($48), the classic Bouillabaisse ($56), and a decadent Chocolate Profiterole for two ($16). The elegant dining room and iconic New York ambiance will make any meal feel like a love story. Menu available, HERE.

POPULAR at Public House Hotel

Make it official at POPULAR with their exclusive pre-fixe Valentine’s Day menu. Begin the evening with fresh oysters, followed by sliced tuna in a flavorful Tiradito Nikkei sauce. Enjoy tender short ribs paired with a smooth lima bean puree. Finish the night with a luscious chocolate tart, topped with a red wine glaze and creamy buttermilk ice cream. The pre-fixe menu is priced at $95 per person, with an optional wine pairing for an additional $75.

The Terrace at the Time Square EDITION

This Valentine’s Day, indulge in an unforgettable dining experience at The Terrace, led by Michelin-starred Chef John Fraser, located at The Times Square EDITION. Celebrate love with a romantic evening in the heart of Manhattan, where a thoughtfully designed seasonal menu combines the innovation of contemporary cuisine with American culinary tradition. Delight in Brasserie classics and a variety of vegetable-forward dishes, all crafted with the freshest local ingredients from regional farmers and purveyors. Make this Valentine’s Day truly memorable with the elegant, inventive flavors that define Chef Fraser’s celebrated style.

Le Coin

For a romantic, French-inspired dining experience, Le Coin presents a 4-course prix fixe menu for $145 per guest. This special menu, complemented by a glass of Moët & Chandon Brut Rosé Champagne, highlights the finest French cuisine with elegant touches perfect for Valentine’s Day. A full drink menu will be available, and specialty cocktails can be enjoyed alongside the prix fixe dishes.

Hedge & Hearth at The Standard Plaza

Get lost (and steal a kiss) in The Standard, High Line’s annual winter installation, Hedge & Hearth at The Standard Plaza. All season long, you’ll be transported from across The Pond back to the Meatpacking District. The star of the show is a 2,000-square-foot hedge labyrinth, inspired by a country estate, with playful sculptures waiting around every corner. Warm up with British gastropub fare in the cozy, decorated, and heated outdoor lounge, then wander (tipsy or not, your choice) through the whimsical hedge maze.

Slate New York

Located in the heart of Chelsea, Slate is one of New York City’s top nightlife spots. This 16,000-square-foot entertainment hub has something for everyone—whether you’re unwinding after work, celebrating a special occasion, or enjoying a night out with friends. A staple of the city’s scene since 2000, Slate offers everything from mini-bowling and arcade games to ping pong, pool tables, Skee-Ball, and an eight-player foosball table. In partnership with @WhatisNYDating, come play games, sip cocktails, and find potential romance
