Eat Your Heart Out This Valentine's Day

Urbana, a trendy Mediterranean restaurant and bar in Washington, D.C. is offering separate special Valentine’s Day menus in the dining room and the bar. The bar menu will include a variety of snacks and small plates featuring hearts, cheeks, and tongues.

Area Four, a coffee house and bakery by day and pizza bar by night in Cambridge’s Kendall Square neighborhood, is encouraging Boston singles to recruit their friends for an anti-Valentine’s Day meal. Their Misery Loves Company menu includes a "Bloody" Heart Pizza, consisting of beef hearts, tomato sauce, caramelized onions, house-made mozzarella, and pecorino gremolata (pictured above).

New York Central Restaurant in the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City isn’t joining in on the animal hearts trend this Valentine’s Day, but they will be delighting diners with a Sweethearts of Palm salad, featuring carrot purée, lobster, frisee, and of course, hearts of palm, with a carrot-ginger vinaigrette.
