The home of Sleep No More is ready to take you on a journey this Valentine’s Day! Start with dinner in The Club Car where you’ll enjoy a three course meal, live jazz music and the option of a private train car. If you’re looking for something a bit cozier, you can drink and dine on the roof at The Lodge at Gallow Green while sitting by the fire or cuddling in a private nook. Of course you don’t want to miss the Valentine’s performance of Sleep No More, which begins at 7 PM.

Bell Book & Candle

Bell Book & Candle doesn’t want vegans to feel left out this V-Day so they are offering two 7-course tasting menus, one of which is entirely vegan. Dishes will include black truffle topped cauliflower soup and surf & turf featuring grass fed filet and crab stuffed fluke. For the most intimate evening, ask to dine in the Pink Lady Room which seats two and has a private line to the bartender.
