2 | Sippin’ and Snackin’
From specialty Valentine’s Day-inspired cocktails, roses for the gals and complimentary chocolate, Little Sister is an ideal stop for V-Day. Authentic Southeast Asian cuisine shines here, and you can’t go wrong ordering any of the dishes (our favorite just might be the pork, shrimp and crab dumplings) paired with a refreshing cocktail.
3 | V-Day Dinner Plans
True Food Kitchen is offering a few unique menu items to celebrate this magical weekend of love. From the Hot In the Dark Cocktail (organic tequila, lime, jalapeno and pomegranate) to the Chocolate Mousse (chocolate quinoa brownie, pomegranate, cocoa nibs, toasted coconut and organic strawberry), you’ll be lovestruck by Cupid with these specials! Dine outdoors at The Point with these specials from Feb. 11-14 (or choose from their normal lunch and brunch menus!).

4 | Dress to Impress
Whether you’re looking for a new outfit to wear on Valentine’s Day or you want to surprise your significant other with one, Evereve is the place to go for contemporary fashion. If you’re spending the 14th at home with the girls, you can’t go wrong with a cozy sweatshirt. Off to a romantic dinner date? Shop for a maxi dress, plaid blazer or gold necklace.
5 | Sweet and Sentimental
Nothing says “I love you” like a thoughtful card—whether you go for the super romantic ones or the funny, jokester ones. Make a stop at Paper Source for a cute Valentine’s Card and candy. After buying an outfit at Evereve, pick up themed wrapping paper from Paper Source to tie your gift together.
