Some may say that Valentine’s Day is a made-up holiday with the intention of selling more greeting cards, candy, and flowers – in spite of the Saint Valentine courtly love lore. Yet, the holiday offers a time for everyone to have love on their minds. It’s true – love is love. And, there are many ways to express it. As Valentine’s Day is upon us, how do you plan to do so?
From a boozy pairing class at Goo Goo Chocolate Company in downtown, or free ice cream for a year from Hattie Jane’s Creamery, to snagging a Valentine’s Day grazing box from Chef’s Market, there are plenty of options to think outside the heart-shaped box. For a more complete experience you can opt for a five-star overnight stay at The Four Seasons, an Amore Hideaway at The Joseph, or treat your gal pals to a Y2K Galentine's Day at L.A. Jackson.
