Around 200,000 people in New York propose annually on Valentine’s Day. If you plan to swell the ranks yourself this year, Medium Rare, a steakhouse chain that recently opened a branch in Midtown Manhattan, has a little gift for you. Betrothers who pop the question at the restaurant on Valentine’s Day will be entitled to a free steak frites on their wedding anniversary for the rest of their married life.

The meal, priced at $34.95, features a culotte steak (a cut of beef that comes from the top sirloin cap and is noted for its tenderness), secret sauce (sauce “secrète”), fresh-cut fries, a mixed green salad, and bread. Second helpings of meat and potatoes are included.

Medium Rare, 488 Third Avenue (bet. 33rd & 34th Sts.); 202-237-1432.
