DRINKS
• King Cole Bar Lounge
The St. Regis Hotel’s bar (and purported origin of the Bloody Mary) lets spiffed-up couples show off their good grooming while spotting society matrons.

• Lobby Bar
For sumptuous surroundings, the Bowery Hotel watering hole may be the most opulent room in the city.

• Brandy Library
The namesake cognacs are the finest in the world, and the tobacco-leather couches are ripe for cuddling.

WHERE TO EAT
• Alta
Share plates of Spanish tapas in this rustic two-story dining room before stealing away to the intimate upstairs alcove.

• Allen & Delancey
Indulge carnivorous cravings with dishes like beef-bone marrow larded with caviar or a terrine of rabbit and foie gras.

• The Tasting Room
The daily nouveau-American menu is as obsessive about fresh market ingredients as, let’s say, Per Se, but here you actually might have a chance of getting a table.

WHAT TO DO
• Romance Over Manhattan Private Helicopter Flight
Okay, we admit this is a tad cliché. But, c’mon, if you’ve got the money to spend, what could be cooler than an up close, bird’s-eye view of the Big Apple? Call 702-233-1627 for more information.

• The Barber of Seville
The romcom of the Metropolitan Opera’s season is ideal for first-timers and just as enjoyable for hard-core fans.

Want to recreate a scene from your favorite romance flick down to the last detail? Or just snag a last-minute flight to the real Casablanca? Whatever your heart desires, Qunitessentially can arrange it for you. But at a price: membership starts at $5000. www.quintessentially.com
