V-Day The NYC Way: Eat Diamonds, Name A Cockroach After An Ex

MANHATTAN, NY — Nothing says I love you like a dessert full of diamonds. But don't eat the diamonds. Well, not all of them.

Valentine's Day is almost here, and while restaurants and venues are offering romantic deals and shows across New York City, Patch has identified a few of the more eye-catching activities.

Want blow $250,000 on dessert? Certify that your ex is a cockroach? Bend iron?

New York City has got you covered.

Diamonds Are Not Forever When You Eat Them

The iconic Serendipity3 at the 225 E. 60th St. will serve its very first "Diamond Frrrozen Hot Chocolate," for one night only on Valentine's Day which features edible and non-edible diamonds.

For thrift (and digestion) sake, don't get them mixed up.

The dish comes dripping with Austrian crystals, is filled with 14 exotic cocoas, and topped with a cloud of whipped cream. Oh, and 23K edible gold-gilded chocolate shavings, gold straws and edible diamonds.

Placed on top of the dessert is a Lorraine Schwartz-designed handmade 18k diamond bypass ring that holds multiple diamonds.

To repeat again, it's priced at $250,000.

"Is there a better way to say 'I Love You' than this?" the restaurant asks. Leave your answer in the comments.

It's Official, Your Ex Is A Hissing Cockroach

If love doesn't last forever, this cockroach sure will.

The Bronx Zoo is offering New Yorkers a very special gift on this momentous holiday, the chance to name a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach after an ex.

The cost is $15.

Do it.

Blacksmithing For Your Burning Love

Or, depending on how you feel about this Hallmarky holiday, your iron heart.

Proclaim your love — or hammer out your frustrations with love — by taking a three-hour long introduction to an induction forge, using a hammer and anvil to make a heart, at the Brooklyn Army Terminal Building B Unit 1C.

The hammer time starts at 6 p.m. and costs $250 for non-members.
