Over the years, Valentines Day has maintained the reputation of one of the most pointless and cheesy holidays.
As I like to say, it’s not the holiday thats cheesy but the activities you partake in. So ditch the stuffy white tablecloth dinner for some more unique Valentine’s day activities.
- Grab a Drink. Valentines day falls on a Friday this year and that means nightlife. If you like Happy Hour and live music, The Dubliner in Mizner Park is the place to be on Valentines. They feature a $5 Irish Bar Bites Menu along with half-off all drinks at the bar, perfectly accompanied with an acoustic performance from 5-8pm. Check out Death or Glory bar in Delray Beach for an 80s themed night. The bar’s new 80s themed pop-up features cocktails perfectly crafted for the era, smooth 80s jams, and insane decor. If you’re spending the night at home, here’s a great guide to the different types of prosecco.
- Indulge on sweets. If you’re like me, you look for any excuse to treat yourself to some donuts. Krispy Kreme recently came out with a Valentine’s donut selection, allowing you to order online for your significant other. If you’re looking to indulge your sweet-tooth in a healthier way, visit Parlour Vegan Bakery in Boca Raton on Federal Highway. Their cakes and cookies were recently voted 2o2o’s top 10 desserts. With a special Valentines Day Menu featuring heart strawberries and champagne cake to heart shaped cookie cakes, this bakery is the new talk of the town.
- Enjoy the outdoors. Nothing says romance more than the beauties of nature, and the Morikami Museum in Delray Beach provides the perfect scenery. Take a stroll in the botanical gardens and enjoy the lush vegetation. Attend their Valentines Day Trunk show featuring jewelry artist Sherrie Wang from 11am-4pm and let your date pick out their perfect present. If you want to take a more simple-route to Valentines Day, enjoy a stroll on the beach, we do live in paradise after all. While you’re there, check out some beach-front restaurants featuring Valentines Day specials from Oceans 234 to Jbs on the Beach in Deerfield beach
