16 Great Valentine's Day Restaurants For People Who Aren’t Really Into Valentine’s Day - New York - The Infatuation

"We see two reasons to spend Valentine’s Day at this classic diner on the Upper East Side. The first is to be cute and unpredictable, not unlike Meg Ryan in any movie Meg Ryan stars in. Another perfectly compelling reason? To protest the traditions of a holiday created to push candy and make single people feel like they have the sex appeal of a toaster oven (we’ve all been there). Either way, get the chocolate chip pancakes or a turkey club, and hang out in a booth until you’ve properly people-watched the room." - hannah albertine
