The Milk & Honey Reservations Number
For weeks, you've been wandering between watering holes, trying to fill the void of Milk & Honey's
temporary shuttering. Well, your long cocktail nightmare is over. M&H is back and we've got something
else you'll need: the reservations number, 718-308-6881. Don't say we never did anything for
you.

- 134 Eldridge St (between Broome and Delancey), 718-308-6881
Lingering
Last-Minute Lingerie from La Perla
We aren't huge fans of Saturday's mandatory lovefest, but La Perla is bailing us out with scotch, 30 percent
off all sexywear and a few models to show off the goods in person…which could cause more trouble than
forgetting a gift.
- 411:
- 5-8pm, Feb 13, at Saks, 611 5th Ave (between 49th and 50th), 10th floor, 212-753-4000
Caribbean
Favela Cubana Opens
The new Greenwich Village spot brings together Cuban and Brazilian fare for delicacies like ropas
viejas and churrascaria-style hanger steak sharing the same platter. But for diplomacy's sake, we suggest
you try them one at a time.
- 411:
- Opens tomorrow, 543 La Guardia Pl (between Bleecker and W. 3rd St), 212-777-6500
Halves
Tom Colicchio Opens Halfsteak
From the goodness of his beef-loving heart, Tom Colicchio is transforming the front room of Craftsteak into
"Halfsteak," serving the same gorgeous steak at half the price. As sweeteners, they've got Fried
Oysters and a $15 ceiling for the menu.
- 411:
- Now at Craftsteak, 85 10th Ave (at 15th St), 212-400-6699
Songsmith
A Personalized Valentine's Song
If you don't do chocolates, pro-songwriter Jordon Rothstein will ghostwrite you a custom tune to sing to
your current squeeze. The cost? Significantly more than a song. But how can you put a price on love.
- 411:
- $2,500, available at Cloud9Living
Cobbling
Made-to-Measure Shoes at MAB
Cobbling is in, which means your uniquely shaped feet are about to get more comfortable. Our friends
at Michael
Andrews Bespoke will make you your very own custom-fitted brogues for about the price of a plane ticket
to Savile Row.

Lunching
Co. Pizzeria Opens for Lunch

flambé pizza. Unfortunately, delivery is still just a dream.
