Valentine's Day in New York

Filed in archive Destination: US on January 18, 2007

Valentine's Day in Paris could be the romantic extended weekend getaway you have been looking for to wow your partner on the 14th of February.

Or, you could go all the way and celebrate in style in New York.

Take a luxurious all-frills flight with EOS, MaxJet or SilverJet, without burning a hole in your pocket.

Stay at the Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park for a romantic view of Central Park. Plus, it's the most convenient place to stay should your lady love want to do some shopping over at Fifth Avenue -- think Barneys, Saks Fifth Avenue and Tiffany's. They even have a Be My Valentine Package where you can get luxury accommodations, breakfast in bed, champagne and strawberries, rose petal turndown (mmmmm...) and massages at the hotel's La Prairie at The Ritz-Carlton Spa.

Up the notch even more. You can...

Take a romantic carriage ride through Central Park.

Dine at One if by Land, Two if by Sea where "the room is designed to put you in the mood for love, with two roaring fireplaces, abundant fresh flowers and a piano man tickling the ivories in the background".

Get a nightcap at any of these romantic bars, as recommended by New Yorker, Heather Cross.

And after that special day/night, you can both take your time checking out everything else that the Big Apple has to offer.
