For the first time in history, more American women are single than married, according to a recent analysis of Census date. But Valentine’s Day continues to be one of the most popular nights of the year for dining out. Visit your favorite restaurant’s Web site to see what it has in store for you. Most of them will have limited, fixedprice menus and preset seating times as they attempt to deal with the many customers who are trying to impress their honeys. But there are other options.

These restaurants are offering their full menus: davidburke & donatella (133 E. 61st St., between Park and Lexington avenues, 212-813-2121); Gavroche (212 W. 14th St., near Seventh Avenue, 212-647-8553), with live music by the French Connection from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.; The Mermaid Inn (96 Second Ave., between 5th and 6th streets, 212-674-5870); Nish (formerly known as March, 405 E. 58th St. at First Avenue, 212-754-6272); The Stanton Social (99 Stanton St., between Ludlow and Orchard streets, 212-995-0099); Tamarind (41-43 E. 22nd St., between Park Avenue South and Broadway, 212-674-7400).
