Perhaps only Paris can rival New York as one of the world’s most romantic cities on Valentine’s Day. If you and your partner are looking for a warm, chimerical dining experience, here are three of the best places to eat out in the Big Apple for the New York tourist. 1.One If By Land, Two If By Sea Set in an iconic, Greenwich Village carriage house, this delectable restaurant offers an outstanding three course set menu for $80. For appetizers, the Winter Shellfish salad of oysters, clam and cod tossed in saffron and champagne is a must for seafood lovers, whereas the Roasted Bartlett Pear offers a uniquely modern take on an authentic American classic. For the main course, the Poached Tilefish and Ruby Red Shrimp is completed by unusual flavours of marcona almonds and coffee, while the Braised Short Rib provides a sleek kombu dashi Korean glaze to provide a hint of Asian influence in modern American cooking. For dessert, it seems obvious to stop at the Dulce de Leche Fondant cake, a thrilling, delectable and sensual way to round off a perfect evening. 2.The River Cafe Brooklyn Located next to the East River and offering absolutely stunning views of Downtown Manhattan, this wonderful restaurant is Brooklyn’s pride in the face of stiff competition from the other side of the river. Its appetizer menu alone triumphs over many imitators. The Wagyu Steak Tartare, made with handcut Kobe beef, re-imagines the French classic into gastronomic ethereality. The Crab and Coconut Bisque combines the freshness of Maine’s waters with delicate Thai flavours. For mains, the Branzino Fillet of sea bass stuffed with chorizo and shrim is highly recommended, while the Colorado Rack of Lamb complements the American outdoor cooking tradition with North African spice. Try their pleasant cheeseboard or Sorbet plate- with pineapple, orange and buttermilk sorbets- whilst ending the evening gazing at the lights of the east river, overlooked by the Empire State building. 3.Almond Restaurant, NYC Almond restaurant recreates a farm-to-table bistro atmosphere in the heart of Manhattan’s fashionable Flat Iron district. Almond’s carefully selected seafood has also enhanced the small family-run restaurant’s profile in recent years. Their Fruit de Mer platters come at a highly reasonable cost, offering oysters, clams, shrimp and lobster- though the scallop and fennel crudo is a thoroughly inventive, refreshing appetizer. Supported by a range of delicious warming soups and a well chosen charcuteries selection, the entrees are testament to Almond’s focus on locally sourced produce. The Heritage Pork Tenderloin is simply divine, whilst the seafood ravioli is mind-blowing in its choice of seasoning. Their take on Steak Frites will leave even the hungriest diner satisfied. So this Valentine’s Day, make sure that you treat your partner to the best possible dining experience. With all the different New York attractions, it can sometimes be difficult to even think about where to eat. This guide hopes to provide a little bit of inspiration.
