We all know Valentine\u2019s Day<\/strong> as a day to turn up the romance, express your love and impress your significant other with sweet gestures to show just how much they mean to you, whether it\u2019s chocolates, roses<\/strong>, or a romantic dinner. However, you can always score extra points for coming up with something truly impressive and different, so why not plan a trip to fabulous New York City<\/strong> for your sweetheart<\/strong>? Since we\u2019ve been in business renting furnished apartments in NYC for over 20 years, we happen to know some sweet spots to take your sweetie on Valentine\u2019s Day. Plus, we have plenty of romantic apartments you can rent in NYC<\/a> to warm things up on a cold February night! Check out these suggestions for a truly unique February 14th<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While Times Square<\/a> may be most famous for its much-anticipated New Year\u2019s Eve ball drop, there are many other yearly events that draw crowds to this iconic location beyond the daily frenzy of tourists. On Valentine\u2019s Day, couples come together to get married or renew their vows<\/strong> in this epicenter of NYC. Others use the special day to finally get down on one knee and pop the question to their significant other. To add to the day of love, Times Square Arts<\/strong> commissions a sculpture to represent the holiday. This year, Window to the Heart<\/strong><\/em> (pictured above) was the winning design. Be sure to stop by during the month of February to snap a picture with your loved one!<\/p>\n

A Night at iPic Theater<\/strong><\/p>\n

While dinner and a movie may be the oldest date clich\u00e9 in the book, it doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s not a great way to spend the holiday. However, we do recommend that you skip your average theater, get creative, and head to iPic Theater at Fulton Market<\/strong> instead. The dine-in movie theater<\/strong> offers great food, unforgettable cocktails and some great cinema to really make the night one to remember. Premium seats are fitted with personal tables that allow you to enjoy your meal in the lap of luxury. Premium Plus-level movie tickets even come with a personal blanket and pillow! Of course, if you\u2019d rather it be just the two of you, one of the perks of renting an apartment for your trip to NYC is the luxury of having the choice to stay in and have your own impromptu movie night in the comfort of your furnished apartment. You can find the perfect love nest for two just for a weekend or for an extended stay on our website<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Tache Artisan Chocolate<\/strong>, handmade in New York, offers this unique experience. The class will take you through the entire process of chocolate making<\/strong>, from learning how to properly temper the chocolate to the very finishing touches of decorating your finished masterpiece. Best of all, at the end of the class, you get to take your creations home to truly indulge in the experience. Their store is located on the Lower East Side of NYC<\/a>, so you can make your own desserts, take a romantic stroll, and catch a NYC sunset<\/a> on your way back to one of our cozy apartments nestled in the charming West Village to enjoy them.<\/p>\n

Cook up a romantic dinner in this West Village apartment with a fully-equipped kitchen<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Cooking a candlelit dinner for the occasion is a breeze when you have a perfect dining table for two and fully-equipped kitchen as cute as this one at your disposal. Nearby Chelsea Market<\/strong> is where you can find even the most unusual ingredients for any dish you want to cook (or some prepared dishes if you want to cheat). If you\u2019re not blessed with culinary skills, simply head out to one of the many dimly-lit cafes and restaurants for which this neighborhood is known. Stop by a sultry local wine bar<\/strong> or a cool lounge<\/strong> and have a few drinks to celebrate love. On your way home, make a stop at Magnolia Bakery<\/strong> (of Sex & the City<\/strong><\/em> fame) and pick up a delectable dessert to savor, while also scoring points for your hat tip to one of NYC\u2019s most iconic shows. In fact, you can even take your date on a tour of nostalgic NYC film locations<\/a>, guided by a pro or by your own cinematic knowledge.<\/p>\n
