Dumbo Valentine's Day Guide 2007

With Valentine’s Day a week and a half away, if you haven’t planned your Valentine’s Day or purchased your gift for your sweetheart, you have some great choices in Dumbo Brooklyn. You can impress her with a dinner at River Cafe, but unless you made a reservation a year ago, don’t count on getting a reservation at this point. But don’t panic, there’s plenty of other plans you can make. There’s dinner at Superfine, a funky restaurant with no pretention and tasty American food with a daily changing menu. Or you can go to Five Front, the classy New American cuisine restaurant, Grimaldi’s, or later stop by Rebar or 68 Jay Street Bar for a drink.
