Manhattan Valentine's Day Restaurants & Events 2024

Manhattan Romantic Restaurants For Valentines Day in Manhattan on the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Midtown, East Village, West Village, SoHo, Tribeca & the Lower East Side

February 6, 2024 / Manhattan Neighborhoods NYC / Manhattan Restaurants NYC / Manhattan Buzz NYC.

Valentine's Day is less than a month away. Valentines Day is a good time to let your loved one know you care. Flowers, gifts and dinner are always welcome treats, and / or some thoughtful gesture that shows that the lady [or man] you're with, still means a lot to you.

manhattan valentines day restaurants manhattan nyc romantic restaurants on vday manhattan nyc uws ues midtown soho village tribeca fidi nyc valentines day eventsThe photo at right was taken of a main entree at a restaurant in Long Island City.

This report provides a selection of various romantic and casual restaurants in which to celebrate Valentines Day in Manhattan. We also highlight a few local restaurant closures.

All restaurants that have been asterisked have either been updated or added in 2024. Those restaurants without an asterisk are from 2023, so watch the dates / year to be sure you're looking at 2024 specials.

Valentine's Day is on a Wednesday this year, so it may be fair game to make your VDay reservation on Valentine's Day or any day of the preceding weekend. Also, many restaurants have retained their outside dining capacity - so depending on the weather - NYC restaurants may have more capacity for Valentine's Day weekend than they did prior to the prepandemic.

It's worth reminding folks that there were a number of restaurant casualties during and following the pandemic, so it's best to do your research early. If you're thinking about doing something this Valentine's Day for dinner in or around the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Midtown or East Village; call or go online to make reservations.

 

Valentine's Day History - Romantic Restaurants In Manhattan

The origins of Valentine's Day are not well documented. It's believed to have been named after Saint Valentine who was apparently a Catholic martyr who died over 1500 years ago. Today the holiday is not associated with religion so much as flowers, candies, cards and romantic dinners. And the holiday spokesperson is now Cupid, a Roman god of desire, and quite a mischief maker.

The restaurants we've reviewed include a mix of high, medium and budget priced restaurants that are spread throughout the borough and offer a large variety of ethnic cuisines. Enjoy.

Many of the following Manhattan restaurants include links to Manhattan Buzz restaurant reviews. These restaurants were selected based the food quality, the ambiance and the service of these restaurants which made them notable within their categories.

This is not meant to be an exhaustive list as there are many more fine Manhattan restaurants we wish to review. But in the meantime this is what we have to offer.

 

Valentine's Day Restaurants In Manhattan - French Restaurants on the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Midtown & West Village, American Restaurants in Gramercy Park, Midtown, East Village & Upper East & Upper West Sides, Italian Restaurants on the Upper West Side, Rooftop Restaurants in Midtown & Downtown, Manhattan Irish Pubs & Restaurants, and a Steak House on the UES

manhattan valentines day restaurants manhattan nyc romantic restaurants ues uws midtown manhattan valentines day restaurants v day restaurants east village west village soho tribeca downtown manhattan nyc valentines day restaurants v dayAll of these are likely good restaurants for Valentines Day, but one size does not fit all. Most of them have some romance, but not all of them are romantic rendezvous restaurants. All of the restaurants shown here are located in Manhattan, and I have visited all of them presented here and believe them to be quite commendable for either food or ambiance or both - within their price range and category.

Update January 22, 2024. Sometime around / shortly after the pandemic began, there was a battle for the legal rights to the Delmonico legacy. There were four parties who ran the restaurant for about the past couple of decades, and post pandemic, they engaged in a battle for the Delmonico legacy and business. One side won the trademark battle in court, while the other won renewal of the lease in the historic building where Delmonicos has operated for over 185 years. The battle appears to have been won by the party that won the lease, and thus, after a couple / three years of closure, one of NYC's finest restaurants has reopened.

Location. At 56 Beaver Street in the Downtown / FiDi neighborhood of Manhattan.
