Seersucker - Comfort her with oysters coated in a crispy cornmeal crust, one of four courses (plus an amuse and biscuits) for $75 or precisely paired with wines for each course for an additional $45. Chef Rob Newton created the desserts in tribute to his firlfriend and partner in the restaurant, Kerry Diamond. "Kerry loves red velvet cake and any dessert with blood orange," a representative for the restaurant tells us. "She has a wicked sweet tooth and Rob doesn't. If it were up to him, there might not even be dessert on the menu!"
La Vara - Typically a first come, first served establishment, La Vara will be accepting reservations for two on this night only to feast upon a five-course menu inspired by amor. For reservations, e-mail reservations@txikitonyc.com
