Celebrate Valentine's Day in the Neighborhood

Valentine's Day is on Thursday, but look, it's cold out, Manhattan will be a mob scene—hell, Park Slope will be a mob scene, and it's probably best for you and your loved one if you just stick close to home. 

As usual, several local businesses have come through with a variety of romantic ways to pass the evening.

The Farm on Adderly

1108 Cortelyou Road, 718-287-3101 

They're having a three-course prix fixe dinner for $45 a person. See their Draft_Menu here. They are also offering a beverage pairing for an additional $24 a person. Reserve by e-mail at farmreservations@gmail.com. You can also order from the regular menu.

Ox Cart Tavern

1301 Newkirk Ave., 718-284-0005

Ox Cart is offering a number of "Sweetheart Specials" including a 32 ounce prime dry-aged porterhouse for two with chedder mashed potatoes and sauteed broiccolini with mixed mushrooms for $110 and a Meyer lemon, almond-crusted tart with fresh berries and dark chocolate truffles for $6. 

Brooklyn Commune:

601 Greenwood Ave.

As of press time, there are still four spots remaining at Brooklyn Commune's Valentine's Day dinner, which is holding a single seating at 7 p.m. sharp. The menu features four mouthwatering courses, featuring smoked Muscovy duck breast with escarole and quail Egg arancini and concluding with a sophisticated take on a chocolate peanut butter and jelly dessert. 

Cost is $60 per person and includes a glass of sparkling wine, though guests are welcome to bring their own wine as well.

Moondos Grill

424 Church Ave.

Moondos is offering a no-frills three-course menu for lovebirds looking to fill up on hearty Latin classics. Patrons can choose between several appetizers like shrimp cocktail and tortilla soup, entrees ranging from garlic shrimp to chicken fajitas, and finally, a dessert of flan, churros, chocolate mousse cake or chocolate covered strawberries. Bonus: Complimentary champagne is included in the $40 price. 

See the full menu on Moondos' Facebook page. Call (718) 941-0185 to make a reservation. 

Brooklyn Banya

602 Coney Island Ave.

Want romance? You likely won't find it at Brooklyn Banya's steamy Valentine's Day dance party, in which gaggles of scantily-clad bathers will mingle everywhere from saunas to jacuzzis to the poolside dance floor. The Hungry March Band and "ethno-mesh" DJs will provide the tunes, and pierogies will be served to all! 

If all of this isn't enough to shake off the weekday stress, there will be an open vodka bar from 9 to 10 p.m. 

Tickets are $45 per person, $35 after 11 p.m., and $85 for a VIP package that includes an "authentic multi-course Russian banquet." If this sounds too weird/great to be true, here is the proof. 

Hamilton's

2826 Fort Hamilton Pkwy. 

The Fort Hamilton Parkway eatery isn't offering Valentine's Day specials, per se, but they are debuting their new lunch menu, for those able to play hookie for the afternoon. Highlights include Kimchi fried rice with organic egg, lamb sandwich and frittata, but that's only the beginning.
