Love Story

2009 Valentine’s Day Guide

Out of ideas for the mushiest day of the year? Pick up some last-minute tips from your Netflix queue.

She’s the One
Show that sure thing that you’re serious. Start with either the Long Look or Quickie lunch at L’Espalier (with wines, please) before checking into Nine Zero’s Rub the One You’re With package for an hour-long massage instruction class and overnight stay. Or pack your place with flowers from Twig and order in from Verrill Farm (final orders taken Thursday).

Punch Drunk Love
Unconventional love requires unexpected measures. Celebrate early with Rialto’s tango dinner (Wednesday, 7 p.m.) and check out L’Amour at The French Library (Wednesday, 6-8 p.m.) or stall and hit Taberna de Haro’s day-after dinner (Sunday, 4-10 p.m.) for chocolatey, olive oil-drizzled truffles sprinkled with sea salt.

He’s Just Not That into You
So what? Shake it off by snagging a free Shiseido facial at Macy’s Downtown (take this email on Friday for a mini lipstick and liner sample) and LaLicious manis and pedis at MiniLuxe, followed by disco dancing with Booty Vortex (Saturday, 9 p.m.). Top it off with a box of chocolate-covered potato chips (order by noon for Saturday delivery) and your favorite gut-busting comedy.
