LOVE AND THE CITY/VALENTINE VENUES
"Most lovers in New York have found, there is nowhere for lovers to go; One Look, and a crowd
gathers round and tomorrow the papers will know; But still, if you want to embrace, for persons of
tact and good taste, you can view an Old Master, while your heart beats a bit faster at Valentine
venues on New York's Avenues. Find a suitable place when your heart starts to race, right here
on this page, a fond tale like a sage. Here's the scoop!!!
Sing me "Love Songs" is all I crave from James Barbour. That thespian singer warms up your
heart with Valentine's performances, which continue his sold-out run at Sardi's the legendary
restaurant on Sat. nights, Jan. 31, Feb. 7,l4,21 & 28 at 9:30PM. So take your sweetie out for a
night in theater row and you never know where you might steal a kiss between dishy treat or
champagne libation. For ticket info: 212.868.4444. Sardi's, 234 W. 44th St.
Just in case marriage is on your mind, The Wedding Bureau gets new digs with wedding
chapels swathed in gauzy curtains and romantic muted colored walls. In case newlyweds-to-be
forget any essentials, a small shop sells fresh flowers, disposable cameras, tissues, and
sparkling diamond rings for $9 ea. Computerized kiosks make online application processing

so glamorous. Marriage licenses cost $35. Plus a $25 fee to hold a ceremony at the new digs.

Talking about gifts you can give your Valentine a work of art for 42 cents!!! A stamp honoring
the Chinese Lunar New Year designed by Kam Mak, an associate professor in the Illustration
department at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) is the second in a series of l2 Lunar New
Year stamps created by Mak. www.fitnyc.edu Want "Moore" for your money? Come see for
yourself what wowed thousands who have seen Henry Moore's magnificent works
in the unique outdoor setting at the New York Botanical Garden. So what's it all about? It's by far
the largest outdoor exhibit of Moore's sculptures presented in a single venue in the United
States. The 19 colossal works on view throughout the Botanical Garden provides an impressive
interaction of nature and art such as Moore envisioned. Time named "Moore in America," one of
the top Ten Museum exhibits of 2008. He intended that his monumental sculptures be presented
in the Garden so that their mass and size could be seen from many angles, in a great variety of
light, and in different season. Time to go is now. Tics/Info: www.nybg.org.
