Probably the most obvious, and therefore super popular, activity to do on Valentine’s Day is going out for a romantic, intimate dinner. So what are the best spots to spend quality time with your significant other while enjoying delicious food in NYC?

Check out Boucherie, a romantic French brasserie in the West Village hosting a special Valentine’s Day menu that includes foie gras, black sea bass, and a white chocolate mousse.

For amazing skyline views and an upscale dining option, look no further than the River Cafe in Dumbo. This high-end restaurant right by the East River has put together an elaborate Valentine’s Day menu for $225 per person, including wagyu steak tartare, filet mignon wellington, and a dessert trio.

Relax at the Spa

We all know that living in New York City can be stressful. So, why not take Valentine’s Day off and spend the day at an NYC spa where you can relax and unwind?

Body by Brooklyn offers romantic couple’s massages for $348 for two. You’ll be treated to an aromatherapy massage with your loved one and have access to the spa’s saunas, steam room, hot tub, and cold plunge pool.

At Faina European Day Spa, opt for the Champagne Extravaganza for Two at $279, which includes a steam shower, a boozy body scrub, and a 30-minute aromatherapy body massage, followed by champagne and chocolate.

Take a Cooking Class

If you’ve ever wondered how to make that juicy steak or perfect burger you regularly splurge on at your favorite NYC restaurants, a cooking class is for you. Luckily, there is an abundance of cooking classes in New York City to choose from.

At The Institute of Culinary Education, attend Pasta 102 where you will expand your knowledge and techniques in the art of carbs by making homemade pasta and sauce, including Potato Gnocchi with Gorgonzola Sauce, Ricotta Cavatelli with Peas, Mint and Lemon, and Spaghetti Carbonara.

My Cooking Party is also offering a menu for Valentine’s Day that’ll be sure to make your mouth water. From filet mignon to a peanut butter stuffed chocolate cake, your significant other will thank you for finding such a great activity for the holiday.

Whether you’re a pro or you just want to have a good time, ice skating in NYC is a great activity for you and your significant other on Valentine’s Day.

The Sky Rink at Chelsea Piers is an indoor crowd favorite, with stunning views of the Hudson River. Plus, a ticket is only $20, and renting skates cost $10, so this would be the perfect New York City date for those on a budget or if you already splurged on a romantic Valentine’s Day meal.

If you want to brave the cold, Winter Village at Bryant Park is a romantic place to lace up your skates and have some fun. Admission here is free, but renting skates will cost you anywhere from $15-$45, depending on the time you choose.
