Date night has gotten pretty pricey here in New York State. A recent survey from the banking site Lending Tree found that one in five Americans are going on fewer dates due to inflation. They also found that the cost of the average first date has jumped to an average of $91. Yikes!

Thankfully, many chain restaurants in New York State are offering big savings and even some free stuff this Valentine’s Day, so you can still go out and have a proper date night without potentially going broke.

Don’t have anyone to grab a bite with this Valentine’s Day? There are still plenty of ways to save some coin on Valentine’s Day. Or, get two meals for yourself and put one in the fridge to enjoy later in the week. No judgment here!

It’s recommended that before you hit the town to take advantage of these Valentine’s Day deals that you give your closest location a quick call to make sure they’re offering the promotion in your area.

Here are 15 spots to save money this Valentine’s Day in New York State.
