Chocolate, Champagne and Oysters

It's almost Valentine's Day, which is a great excuse to consume (or exhort others to consume) more chocolate, champagne and oysters:

In the chocolate category, I recommend the new heart-shaped brownies at Kyotofu (705 9th Ave., 212-974-6012). They're even better than the little "miso chokos," if that is possible. And who can resist that adorable pink box?

Moving on to champagne (but not leaving chocolate behind), Bacchus Wine Made Simple (2056 Broadway, 212-875-1200), an Upper West Side wine shop, will be holding a "Champagne and Chocolates" tasting event on February 12. Come Valentine's Day, your sweetheart will find your talent for pairing chocolate and champagne irresistible. But if you prefer your champagne to be pure, unadorned, and unlimited, head over to Tre (173 Ludlow St., 212-353-3353), which will be holding a one-hour all-you-can-drink champagne pour for all couples dining on Valentine's Day. (This could get interesting!)

Now for oysters! Danny Brown Wine Bar & Kitchen (104-02 Metropolitan Ave., Forest Hills, 718-261-2144) will include roasted oysters with butternut squash puree in a special Valentine's Day dinner from 5-9:30 p.m. Savoy (70 Prince St., 212-219-8570) will be a veritable oasis of oysters; February 11 begins a week-long celebration of the mollusk with an eight-oyster taste-off and white wine pairing. The most appealing duo will be featured at Savoy's four-course Valentine's Day dinner.

Whatever your pleasure, I hope you have a delicious Valentine's Day.
