On this day of celebrating the special people in your life, why not show your appreciation with food! Whether it’s a high end meal or a small treat, be sure to display love today.

Gramercy Tavern (42 East 20th Street) For more than twenty years, Gramercy has wowed diners in a historic landmark building and earned nine James Beard Awards, including “Outstanding Restaurant” and “Outstanding Chef in America”. On Valentine’s Day in the Main Dining Room they will offer a seven-course tasting menu at $225 per person. In the Tavern, a four-course menu is $125 per person. Gramercy Tavern is a non-tipping restaurant with hospitality included. They always deliver impeccable service creating a “special” meal on any day.

Rubirosa (235 Mulberry Street) Show your sweetie a lot of love with a heart shaped pizza. Ask your server for a beautiful shaped pie and let the love flow. In addition to their famous pizza, they proudly offer Italian-American classics featuring a wide array of pastas made fresh in-house daily. The recipes have been handed down from generation to generation making their offerings unique. The crust is perfectly charred yet soft, chewy and thin. Both the Rubirosa Supreme with pepperoni, mini meatball and roasted garlic and Sausage and Broccoli Rabe are delicious ($30). Prepare yourself for crowds, even with a reservation, but the food is worth the wait. You can always take a pie home if you over order.

Tache Chocolate (163 Chrystie Street, Suite B2) All of Tache’s selections are hand crafted in a mini Willy Wonka esque factory on site. The chocolates are handmade from the finest ingredients in the world and are individual works of art. Take your loved ones in for a coffee and an array of treats you can’t imagine.  Tache is also famous for its chocolate making classes. Tonight they are teaching a couples BYOB class for $75 per person focusing on love themed treats. A gift certificate for a future class would also make a luscious gift. Perhaps try a Beer Caramel Truffle ($3.20) or a French Caramel Kiss with sea salt ($3.50). A box of their signature truffles is $40.
