The Gaffer District’s “hotel with heart,” Radisson Corning (radisson.com/corningny), and its signature restaurant, Grill 1-2-5, are going above and beyond in the name of romance this February. With extraordinary offerings ranging from aphrodisiac-infused foods and drinks to overnight romance packages to Valentine’s Day brunch, Radisson Hotel Corning is the place to be for starry-eyed couples throughout the month. The hotel complies with New York State COVID-19 health and safety regulations to protect guests and staff, including seating limitations, table distancing, and mandatory mask-wearing inside the hotel when not seated.
“Instead of just one day, we celebrate Valentine’s for an entire month,” exclaimed Food & Beverage Director Ken Knowles. “Radisson Hotel Corning is the place to be for love in the Finger Lakes this February!”
The hotel’s Month of Love campaign includes the following:
• Love Potion Elixirs: Cocktails infused with natural aphrodisiac ingredients, made-to-order by the resident mixologist (i.e. the “Love Doctor”) and delivered to guestrooms. Examples include the “Love Martini,” a sweet & fruity cocktail made of Peach Schnapps, tart cranberry juice, vodka and Malibu; “Love Potion #9,” a blend of pomegranate liqueur, Cointreau, Vodka and Moscato; and the “Strawberry Pink Gin Fizz,” an eye-pleasing mix of pink gin, strawberry liqueur and Prosecco.
• Aphrodisiac Dessert Cart: A selection of decadent, aphrodisiac-infused dessert cart options made fresh in-house and delivered to guestrooms to help intensify the night. Examples include Chocolate Almond Pate, Triple Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Tart, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Terrine.
• Valentine’s Dinner and Brunch: The hotel’s modern American restaurant, Grill 1-2-5, will be offering a lovely Valentine’s dinner menu from Thursday, February 11th to Saturday, February 13th featuring lavish specialties for two.
