Few things ensure a happy Valentine’s Day like a beautiful, romantic night in Manhattan. Between the myriad of things to do and the city’s twinkling lights, you’re sure to fall in love all over. If you’re lucky enough to live on the Upper East Side, you’ve got your night made. Between the endless entertainment and luxurious dining, there’s no shortage of ways to make the night special.
If you happen to live at the Wellesley on 72nd Street, you are perfectly situated to take advantage of a bevy of ethnic restaurants sure to make you feel like you’ve been whisked away to another place. For delicious Peruvian food, hike up to 90th Street to enjoy Pio Pio’s famous chicken. For a fancy French meal, check out the historic La Veau d’Or, which opened back in 1937. If you’re yearning for Japanese on this date, check out Meijin Ramen to sate your appetite.
If you’re hoping for some culture and entertainment on this special evening, there are few better neighborhoods than the Upper East Side. Check out the famous Brandy’s Piano Bar for some great tunes and drinks. If you live in Carlton or Regency Towers, you’re a short hike away from one of the city’s hottest performance spaces. Head on over to the Park Avenue Armory between 66th and 67th streets for some culture that’s sure to inspire or intrigue. Either way, you’ll have plenty to talk about for the rest of the evening.
Just because it’s Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean you have to forgo having a good time and a few drinks. If you’re keeping your date on the Upper East Side, it’s a great time to class things up a bit. Consider doing a wine, beer or liquor tasting at one of the neighborhood’s nicer venues, like 1742 Wine Bar. You’ll impress your date, learn something and have a great time.
Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be stressful or involve trekking all over the city in the cold. If you live on the Upper East Side, you’re surrounded by fabulous venues sure to impress any date: All you have to do is walk out your door.
