Experiences
Yes, you could do Top of the Rock or Empire State.. OR you could sip some champagne with a BEAUTIFUL view of the city at SUNSET. Seriously, so so sweet.
Sunset VIP Experience at The Edge
This is in Edison, NJ but hands down one of my top destinations in the area. Only a 45 minute train ride from the city! 10 minute uber from there, very very worth it for $45 admission
Island Spa & Sauna
This is an “eats” but I put it under the experiences because I specifically recommend the Afternoon High Tea! It's so so cute and if you're into tea, their tea is also really really good and it's a great once in a blue moon kind of experience.
Nubeluz by José Andrés at The Ritz-Carlton New York ...
If you're the party type of couple, want to go out and have some fun? Well there's a party every week here and you should check it out!!
Paradise Club Times Square
I worked here for quite some time and they always have shows for V-Day! For 2025, there's a comedy show on the 14th and a Whitney Houston dedication concert on the 15th!!
Go See A Show at The Town Hall
Yes, this is a pretty common suggestion BUT I would just like to add that it is free on Fridays so if you're looking to do V-Day on somewhat of a budget this year.. this may be the thing to do!
The Museum of Modern Art, New York City | MoMA
Activities
Yes, it's NYC and it's cold and you could go ice skating.. but why when you could go ROLLER skating. This spot just opened up in Bushwick and it is SO much fun, I've been three times this month already
Xanadu • Roller Arts • NYC
1000% worth it! 100% loads of fun. Have a naughty dessert decorating V-Day date night! like.. it's so perfect!!
Sugar Wood: New York City's Naughtiest Dessert Shop
This is a lot of fun if you and your person prefer to do something hands on and leave with something tangible to mark the occasion and the memory!
Shiny Sparkle Labs
Hear me out!! January was one hell of a year… yes you heard me correctly. Why don't you and your valentine go work some of that out together? A rage room was one of the best thing I've could've done for my blood pressure to be honest..
The Rage Cage - Break Plates, Smash Printers, and More!
You and your partner down for some team building? This is like an escape room or immersive video game meets the slime from Nickelodeon circa Y2k!!
Beat The Bomb!!
Eats
Make reservations now!! Like.. as soon as you see this!
Cathédrale Restaurant by Tao Group Hospitality
IT'S STILL IGLOO SEASON! Dinner.. but make it a WHOLE experience
Somewhere Nowhere Rooftop Lounge
One of my favorite restaurants because the food is so so good! Kitchen is run by Chef Justin Boygle (youngest Michelin star chef). Service is also always top tier! And you get binoculars to look over the city!
Manhatta | New American Restaurant in New York, NY
This has also been on my list for a while! Although I haven’t been to eat, I love the ambiance and the thought of being able to eat right on the river! Plus LOVE seafood
Fine Dining NYC - The River Café - American Restaurant
