Clinton Fresh Food
Affordable and inventive haute cuisine on the Lower East Side.
71 Clinton St.
AZ
Think pan-Asian fusion is so last decade? AZ will change
your mind with an $80-per-person Valentine's Day menu that features
nori-wrapped tuna tempura, tandoori style rack of lamb, and the
unlikely lobster-crab-and-shark's-fin "egg foo young."

The menu is as small as the choices are heartfelt,
without a weak selection among them.
14 Bedford St.
Bouterin
A loving tribute to pre-fusion French comfort food.
420 E. 59th St.
Chanterelle
Concentrate solely on who you are with and what's
on your plate: chef David Waltuck's stunning culinary juxtapositions.
2 Harrison St.
Daniel
A
Valentine's Day visit to Daniel would suffice on its own, but from
February 14 through 16, the pot's been sweetened: Bill Boggs and
Hilary Kole serenade with romantic numbers from the American songbook.

homage is beautiful, fun, funny, and romantic. The Valentine's Day
menu runs $110 per person.

piscatory realm of imported rarities.

Stylish, bold interpretations of Portuguese cuisine
for stylish, bold foodies.

Savoy
The SoHo favorite has cornered the market on cozy,
but ambience isn't all that keeps Savoy packed: The spectacular
four-course prix-fixe menu also has regulars rhapsodizing.
70 Prince St. at Crosby St., 212-219-8570.
Town
Geoffrey Zakarian takes the chic-hotel-restaurant
mania to new levels of culinary sophistication.

of the dining highlights of 44th Street’s Hotel Row.
