16 Great Valentine's Day Restaurants For People Who Aren’t Really Into Valentine’s Day

"Whenever we recommend Le French Diner, we always add the caveat that you should only bring someone you’ve already seen naked before. Only 15-ish people fit inside, the wine list is written on a chalkboard, and the classic French bistro food swims in butter. The whole place has simply got the je ne sais quoi of a horny little Lower East Side restaurant. Our order typically includes Le French Diner’s octopus grilled to suction-cup-chewing perfection and the hangar steak served with a side of crispy-creamy scalloped potatoes. But the escargots and grilled rabbit are just as perfect for a big date night. An important note: LFD doesn’t take reservations, and we assume you won’t be the only one with this Valentine’s idea. So head here early or late, or be prepared to drink somewhere nearby while you wait." - hannah albertine
