If you want to take your sweetie out for a nice Valentine's Day dinner, most restaurants with tablecloths and a waitstaff charge about $70 per person for a prix fixe meal. Hell's Kitchen is offering a 5-course prix fixe meal for $45. The meal includes a "blossoming pho" soup starter, a classic Caesar salad, a pancetta-filled chicken followed by Chateaubriand beef tenderloin (vegetarian options available too). Dessert is no wimpy sorbet--it's both bananas foster and Creme Brulee to share.

The $45 includes a champagne toast and live music from 5-10 p.m., but the restaurant only has openings in 15 minute increments from 4 to 5 p.m.

But Monday is a school night and you might want to allow plenty of time after dinner to allow for other entertainment.

Any other restaurants want to share a bargain going on this weekend or Monday? Let us know about availability too.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
