Gettin' Some

The Cold-Weather Date

by Monica Weymouth

Summer lovin' — had you a blast? The lovey-dovey-datey fun doesn't have to stop just because it's 20 below.

Brunch: Your lazy ass might not roll in until noon, but the folks at Fork have been up since dawn assuring that your baguette is freshly baked. And just because the napkins here are a higher thread count than your sheets doesn't mean they can't keep it real. Omelets are served alongside heaping piles of greasy homefries, and the French toast is dripping with maple syrup. Fork, 306 Market St., 215-625-9425.

Main Event: Could Frank Sinatra's music get any more romantic? RiverRink's "Sunday Skate With Sinatra" makes the cold weather a little more bearable for canoodling sweethearts. Carlo Morelli is performing romantic favorites on the ice and will take special requests from skaters. Inside, clips from Sinatra's films will play on the giant video wall. Sun., Feb. 11, 12:30-2:30 p.m., $6, RiverRink at Penn's Landing, Columbus Blvd. and Market St., 215-925-7465.

Drinks and Dessert: Ice skating without hot chocolate is like the Ninja Turtles without pizza. Naked Chocolate Café offers more than your typical cup of Swiss Miss. For traditionalists, the Classic blends milk and dark chocolates so nicely you won't even miss the dehydrated marshmallows. For more adventurous types, the Aztec is spiced with cloves, nutmeg and cardamom. For everyone, there are giant cupcakes and pyramid-shaped "nudos," brownielike hunks of love stuffed with peanut butter and other yummy fillings. Naked Chocolate Café, 1317 Walnut St., 215-735-7310.
