Things to do for February 14, 2008

The Weekender

The Weekend Starts Here

The weekend is suitably charmed.

V-DAY APPENDAGE

Chocolate Leg

If you're still looking for a present, you can't go wrong with a chocolate leg. Or maybe you can, but at least it's interesting. (And yes, it's exactly what it sounds like.)

WEEKEND SALE-ING

While it may seem like Barney's is always having its ever-popular warehouse sale, that's actually a cleverly crafted illusion. The sale starts today with late hours and a very real 70% off.
411: Through March 2, 255 W. 17th St (between 7th and 8th), 212-450-8700

Seize Sur Vingt
The Euro-tinged men's outpost is clearing its impeccably designed racks for warmer weather, with signature shirts at $60 and tailored suits down to a decidedly uncontinental $200.
411: Through Feb 17, 267 Elizabeth St (between Houston and Prince), 212-343-0007

WEEKEND PRESIDENTIAL

Waldorf Towers' Historic 4-Course Tasting Menu

Currently on a patriotic streak, the Waldorf Towers is offering a room service tasting menu based on favorite dishes of the last four presidents. Sadly, Herbert Hoover's braised mutton will have to wait.

Sunday

SUNDAY BURGER-ING

Five Guys Opens in West Village

The midtown burgers-and-fries spot opens up on Bleecker, ready to introduce locals to the frightening new concept of the $6 burger.

WEEKEND MELT

Fondue Month at Artisinal

The classic cheese mecca and French bistro is putting its fromage to good use, heating things up in a month-long celebration of all things fondue. From Vacherin Fribourgeois With Duck Cracklings to Beaufort With Date-Almond Chutney, tempting fork fodder abounds.
