Where to Romance: Café Jacqueline
“Start with the endive with Roquefort cheese, follow with a chanterelle mushroom soufflé, and finish with a chocolate souffle. It’s the perfect dinner, followed by a stroll around Washington Square.”

Where Else to Romance: Perbacco
“Call in sick, and go for a two-hour lunch. Amazing how a few Negronis and a bottle of champagne during the middle of the day can create some great conversation and an even better late afternoon.”

What to Seduce with: Bottle of champagne with two dozen oysters
“Eaten at sunset.”

Last-Minute Valentine’s Day Advice: Call B Bar
“We have a four-course chocolate menu at B Restaurant in Oakland. There are a couple tables still open.”
