By The DivaGals | February 14, 2025 | The Soft Life
Three cool New York City restaurants to do Valentine’s Day dinner tonight, right!
Meduza Mediterrania (657 Hudson St.)
Meduza Mediterrania is the upscale, high-energy dining experience helmed by Noble 33 Co-Founders Tosh Berman and Mikey Tanha in the Meatpacking District. Its dining room–one of NYC’s most beautifully designed–is the perfect backdrop for Valentine’s Day. Its incredible lighting is conducive to a sexy Valentine’s Day experience. The sprawling restaurant features three dining rooms: a mezzanine private dining space and a lush greenscaped, glass-enclosed atrium. While there is no pre-fixe menu per se for Valentine’s Day, this restaurant’s carefully curated and robust menu has choices for everyone and beyond. We recommend the oysters, blufin & caviar, any of the steaks and, of course, the oysters for a perfect date night. RESERVATIONS at SevenRooms.
Stay at Park Terrace Hotel and enjoy Branch, its new private members club overlooking Bryant Park and the iconic New York Public Library. Its name is inspired by the curving London plane trees of neighboring Bryant Park, which you can see from its expansive outdoor/indoor terrace. Its offerings include a refined, locally inspired food and beverage program with romantic bites, including Country Pate, Charcuterie Boards, Salads and a number of unique pizzas, among other items. Indulge in dessert with desserts such as pumpkin spice cheesecake and a chocolate decadence cake. Reach out for membership information.
