Arousing, entertaining, and surprisingly educational, it’s the city’s only museum with sex appeal! Beside the permanent collection of sexual art, artifacts and oddities, the Museum houses an array of ever-changing exhibits, a lower-level aphrodisiac bar and cafe, and a fully stocked “gift” shop where you and your date just might want to pick up something something frisky and fun to play with later on.

Chef Jésus Nuñez, the mastermind behind the revolutionary cuisine at Gastroarte, puts a modern spin on classic Spanish tapas and paella with a four-course tasting menu of dishes as gorgeous as they are delicious.
The West Village setting is irresistibly romantic, and the restaurant’s house-infused sangrias will put you in a good mood in no time. Feast on creative fare like oyster and sea urchin soup, torta del Casar cheese fondue, and hake fish in vegetable Mediterranean sauce, while enjoying Barraca’s rustic ambiance and elegant, yet comfortable atmosphere.
After dinner, should you wish to treat yourselves to a little extra dessert, take a stroll to Union Square to find the (in)famous Max Brenner restaurant.
With signature confections like urban s’mores, pearl sugar chocolate waffles, crepes brulee, and a variety of fondues, it’s the perfect conclusion to a decadent Valentine’s date in the city. Stay warm, lovers!
