Be Mine, NYC is a heartfelt tribute to New Yorkers from the city they love. In the week leading up to Valentine’s Day, we’ll scatter secret Valentines throughout the city in our favorite spots: Cafes, bookshops, park benches, that pizzeria that never lets you down, that dive bar that witnessed your very first kiss.

Each Valentine features a short poem about New York – odes, sonnets, haikus – from the annoyingly sappy to the downright snarky. Some will also contain special treats, small gift cards to those quintessential NYC institutions we can’t live without: Magnolia Cupcakes, Levain Bakery, Beecher’s Cheese, The Strand.

This Valentine’s Day, help us spread the love and answer the call:

Be Mine,
NYC
