What's Going on this Week: The Love Edition

FEBRUARY 9, 2011

Monday is Valentine’s Day, and the city will be wearing its heart on its sleeve.

Love + Food
The heart-stomach connection is always a great excuse for indulgence. Food blog Eater provides a preview of some local dining establishments’ heart-shaped comestibles. At Violet Dinner Theater, live music, circus arts, immersive video installations, and fire performance compliment a three-course gourmet meal (House of Yes, 342 Maujer Street, Brooklyn; tickets $35-95); You’d rather make your own? The Manhattan JCC is offering a truffle making class on Monday, February 14 at 7pm ($95); or melt your sweetie’s heart at a chocolate fondue class at Traffic bar ($35).

Love + Art
Valentine’s Day at MoMA invites you to celebrate an art-full Valentine’s day with a private tour for two, complete with a candlelight reception (February 13 & 14, $200 per couple), special items from MoMA stores, romantic e-cards and more.

Love + Humor
Married by Elvis. Divorced by Friday: A Six-Word Memoir Story Slam on Love & Heartbreak promises a night of six-word tales from the heart from a lovable line-up of celebrated writers and performers who will pour their hearts out, tell the backstories behind their Six-Word Memoirs and then invite you to share your own (Monday, February 14, 7 p.m., 92Y Tribeca; $10/$12).

Love + Fashion
It’s fashion week and the Patricia Field Valentine’s Day Costume Ball at Capitale on Friday, February 11 (10 p.m.-2 a.m.) celebrates the zany designer’s love for style and love. Revelers get a chance to win a $4,000 shopping spree and more in a V-day costume contest (Tickets $100).
