NOLITA — The chef at a Nolita restaurant is sending Valentine's Day diners home with body lotion made in-house, after serving them an "aphrodisiac-themed menu."
The Musket Room at 265 Elizabeth St., which was awarded a Michelin star last year for the third year running, is offering a special "aphrodisiac menu" of oysters with trout roe and edible flowers, lobster with ham and a dessert of chocolate with blood orange and miso, among other dishes.
And Chef Matt Lambert will send diners home with vanilla body lotion he made himself "to keep the mood going for the rest of the evening."
Diners can partake of the six-course tasting menu for $150, plus $90 for an optional wine pairing. Reservation times begin at 6 p.m., and can be made by calling or emailing the restaurant.
And if that doesn't strike your fancy, here are some more Valentine's Day specials around the city.
The Musket Room, 265 Elizabeth St., 212-219-0764. Open from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
