Valentine's Day Dinner at Brooklyn Commune

Brooklyn Commune will be hosting an intimate Valentine's Day five-course "Aphrodisian" tasting menu on February 14 that features foods that "have been credited with the ability to enhance desire and fertility." Hummuna, hummuna!

The $60 per person dinner is BYOB (consider stopping by Juice Box before dinner to pick up a bottle of wine), but you'll also each get a complimentary glass of sparkling wine with your meal.

It's a small space and there's only one seating, so you'll want to make your reservations soon. Here's the arousing menu:

Course One
Bay Scallop and Persimmon Salad with Arugula and Uni Crème
or
Fire Licked Asparagus and Love Apple Salad, White Bean and Truffle with Pink Peppercorn Gastrique

Course Two
Creamy Celery Veloute with Lemon and Golden Tobiko Caviar
or

Course Three

or
