Where to find your catch
When the urge hits to bag a preppy honey, target Sutton Place. Its three floors are teeming with fratty twentysomethings, and it’s so loud that if your pickup lines suck, your quarry will be none the wiser. When you score a match, move swiftly to the cozy fireplace area or mellow out in the lounge. Or watch the game on one of the massive TVs.
Romantic outing
Here's a common mistake among the lovelorn: taking Valentine's Day seriously. That won't be an issue at the PIT Dating Game, an improvised faux game show. The event's publicists promise "a fantastic night of laughing at other people and ignoring our own relationship problems." Sounds schadenfreuderrific!

Where to find your catch
The best hookup bars do most of the icebreaking for you. With a carnival of amusements ranging from traditional darts and pool to the hipster kitsch of Skee-Ball and Big Buck Hunter, Ace Bar in the East Village enables happenchance conversations aplenty.
Romantic outing
The movie date is tried and true. And while Hal Ashby's darkly funny Harold and Maude isn't what one would call a classic romance, it is touching and intimate and very good. You weren't going to impress any cynical New Yorkers taking them to 27 Dresses anyway. (Though not yet listed, this film screens at Walter Reade Theater on the 14th. Trust us.)
