Patch Picks: Valentine's Day Out on the Village

More proactive romantics may have seen this list before, called for a reservation, picked out an outfit, bought a gift...

Then there's 99 percent of the human race who won't remember it's Valentine's Day until they pass the mile-long line at the Godiva store in Grand Central. 

To help keep you from the last-minute scramble for reservations and inevitable panic attack when everything's booked, here's the Rivertowns Patch guide to Valentines Day dining, compiled by writer Jerry Eimbnder.
