Cherub Rock

In the year 1015, Valentine’s Day dinners were primitive, involved flagons of mead and didn’t exist. In 2015, you’re luckier. Especially since you’re about to be privy to the city’s most romantic tables right… now.

The Piano Table at Mezzrow

You require: Something dedicated to your date.

You’ll receive: A piano-side seat for cocktails and some of the best jazz in the city inside an idyllic subterranean West Village hideaway.

 

 

The Nook at Cherry Izakaya

You require: A secluded spot for something decadently Japanese.

You’ll receive: Shiitake-infused cognac and tuna in white-truffle oil, in what basically amounts to an amorous, well-appointed attic. Feel free to “take a few minutes deciding.”

All of ’Em at Rainbow Room

You require: Dinner, dancing and a total classic.

You’ll receive: An orchestra and a rooftop ballroom at arguably one of the most famous restaurants in the world, freshly reopened.

 

 

Table 100 at Le Jardin Bistro

You require: Something that’s outside. But it’s still February.

You’ll receive: A little corner two-top on an enclosed East Village balcony with a view of what’s got to be one of the only legitimate grassy backyards in Manhattan. Also 26-year-old grand cru and country pâté.

The Caramel Sofa at Evening Bar

You require: Something to disguise that you forgot to make reservations. Also a roaring fire and supreme comfort.

You’ll receive: A cuddling-necessary leather sofa directly in front of a fireplace in a small, hidden, walk-ins-only room where you’ll split scotch-mushroom-chocolate cocktails. Then you’ll get more, to offset the splitting.
