OMG! Penguins for Valentines!

No, you cannot have a penguin for Valentine's Day, but you can have a real, live, wearing a permanent tuxedo, holy crap he's cute penguin deliver your valentine. You'll be supporting the Fort Worth Zoo (which rocks) by adopting a penguin (no, you don't get to keep him at your house). But, OMG, it sounds like so much fun. There are various donation levels that come with a whole host of benefits, but for higher levels there is an add-on of a penguin delivered valentine. Hurry up and make your donation because those penguin deliveries are going FAST!

Ta Ta Tom Tom

Word on the street is that Tom Tom Noodle House in the West Village has closed. Bummer. They always had good bento boxes and I was always a fan of their patio.

The Dish on Valentines

While people seem decidedly split on whether V-Day rocks or sucks rocks, it's no doubt that restaurants pull out all the stops on food. (Although they get a little unfriendly with you wallet) Moving on though, Dish, one of my new faves on Cedar Springs is doing a yummy Valentine's dinner that I'd be checking out if I was in that area. Here it is for only $50 ($70 with wine pairings)

First Course: Jumbo lump crab and asparagus salad (sexy)
Second Course: Oven roasted cold water lobster tail and filet with wild mushroom gratin (very sexy)
Dessert: Chocolate Mousse Parfait for Two (please keep your clothes on while dining)

They'll also have champagne specials on the 13th and 14th because, well, doesn't everyone feel sexier drinking champage?

Channel your Inner Ricky Bobby

Forget Speed Zone. It's a short-lived thrill on the side of the highway and you've done it 100 times. Ready for the next step? How about North Texas Karting?

It's like a go-kart, but you actually get to shift gears and go much, much faster than those silly child carts. Sure, you'll actually need to buy your own (they've got all the resources for you), but think of the thrill of real racing just inches from the ground. If you've got the Andretti gene, you'll want to check it out. Sounds like good time or a good V-day present for the loved one who loves speed.
