embarrassing, I was never the type of person to celebrate, acknowledge, or otherwise participate in the typical Valentine's Day traditions. Thankfully, I got over my embarrassment and have found that celebrating with loved ones, whether they are a significant other or just a very good friend, is quite nice.
So, whether you are the romantic type that is looking for the perfect plans to surprise your love, or you're just looking for a fun place to hang out with your girls, here's a list that we've created with deals, specials, and more for the quickly approaching day of love. Or celebrate February 14th instead, as a day of good food.
