oh...sorry...one thing i forgot to mention is the price range that i'm looking to spend...prices should be reasonable...but will consider spending a little more than what i might think it's reasonable..because after all it's not everyday that i get a chance to visit New York...

River Cafe is a terrific spot for a romantic dinner. It's located right under the Brooklyn Bridge on the Brooklyn side and presents an unbelievable view of the city and the bridge. Just a gorgeous place, with great service and excellent view. I don't know if $65 per person for dinner is reasonable for you, but the atmosphere of the place can't be beat. <BR>

As long as Cosmo Kramer hasn't fed bad oats to the horse :^), a carriage ride around Central Park is VERY romantic.

Hotels should have weekend specials - try the Radison Empire - it is well located near Lincoln Center and Central Park. Or the Crowne Plaza on 42nd& Broadway. The staff there has always been surprisingly helpful and pleasant. Plan to walk a lot. There's a cool Russian restaurant called Firebird on (I think) West 46th. Little Italy is fun -- one restaurant after another all trying to get your business -- I just look for places with people who are enjoying their meals -- and have food on their plates that looks good to you!

<BR>River Cafe is excellent and well worth it. Also suggest Gramercy Tavern in the Flatiron district. <BR> <BR>Not sure of your denomination, but a visit to St. Patrick's Cathedral followed with a swing by Rockefellar Plaza across the street is always a treat. If you're in the market for buying Valentines's Day gifts, let your girlfriend pick something out in the Diamond district off 5th Avenue (I think its near 45th). Its is a great place to see and comparison shop for jewelry. Ask for the price of gold by the gram and compare. Be careful if shopping for precious stones though. <BR> <BR>As for a night out, Greenwich Village is always fun. Have agreat time !! <BR>
