In this week's What's Cooking, Nikki Volpicelli highlights some sweet Valentine's Day deals for you and yours. Here's another good option for you if you're the procrastinatory type and have yet to secure a table (hurry up, dude!) — chef Konstantinos Pitsillides' acclaimed Cypriot BYO Kanella (1001 Spruce St., 215-922-1773) is offering a four-course menu for $55. They'll be open for 5 to 11 p.m. on Feb. 14. And most importantly, they're not fully booked up yet. (That won't last long.)
Full menu after the jump.
