The Last-Minute Valentine's Day Reservation Guide

Valentine's Day is generally notorious for being one of the worst days to dine out. Restaurants are packed, and many phone it in with lame prix fixes and overpriced specials. But they're not all terrible. For those who have their heart set on snagging a restaurant reservation, Eater is here to help. We scanned through all NYC restaurants on OpenTable with tables for two still available on Black Saturday. Here's the best of the bunch, divided into those with a prix fixe, and those just serving their regular menu:
