Question for NYC residents, where are prime locations for a date?

I have been talking to this guy for 9 months and we have never met. We have had some ups and downs but for the most part things have been amazing and as odd as this sounds, although we never met…I am head over heals for this person. Now sure, meeting in person could change that drastically but going on the assumption that the pictures,videos,phone conversations, and all day texting should give a good indication of what meeting in person will be like…I can’t imagine us not enjoying each others company.

Now of course we have talked about what it would be like to meet for sometime now and it’s finally happening and on Valentines day. We decided to meet as friends and see what happens from there but I still want to try and make the day really special. This person pretty much matches everything I would want in someone so I really want it to go smooothhh.

I don’t want to go overboard but being that we do have an interest in being more then friends I don’t think it be crazy to try and make things a little special.

My question is what do you guys think of this situation and where in NYC would you suggest we go. We will be spending the day there and it is where we will meet for the first time.
Restaurants? Maybe someplace really memorable and special to meet for the first time with a visual environment? What are you thoughts?
