Pheasant heart and gizzards tart at Betony

Bryce Shuman's acclaimed restaurant Betony is currently serving a special for two that will knock the socks off offal lovers: A pheasant heart and gizzards tart served alongside the charcoal-roasted bird from which the organs came from. If your Valentine has a taste for organs, we highly recommend attempting to get a reservation. Try the early side too, because only about ten orders of the dish are offered each night. Think of this as a nose-to-tail meal (if a pheasant had a nose or tail). Pro tip: Call ahead to confirm this special is available. $110, serves two people. 41 West 57th St., 212-465-2400, betony-nyc.com

The funky delicate flavors are sure to excite. $18. 239 W. 4th St., 646-449-9336,fedoranyc.com

Sizzling beef heart chili at Takashi

Takashi in the West Village has made a name for itself as the place to go for beef and especially obscure cuts (for example, the testicargot, which are cow testicles escargot-style). For the month of February they will be serving a special heart dish: sizzling beef heart chili with mochi and cheese. Mmmmm. $16. 456 Hudson St., 212-414-2929,takashinyc.com
