Valentine’s Day, a holiday that fills hearts with figurative longing and passion — and literal foodstuffs, like chocolate. Or steak- and lobster-borne cholesterol. But couples aren’t the only participants pre-ordering cheeseboards and planning champagne toasts, because Galentine’s Day (traditionally Feb. 13, but does it even matter?) is its own growing segment for area eat-and-drinkeries to cash in on.
In fact, you don’t even have to wait ’til next weekend.
Before diving into the deep end of Valentine’s Day offerings, have you considered changing things up? Couples looking to opt out on the inevitable craziness of THE BIG DAY (Remember: Feb. 14 falls on a Saturday this year!) can get the romance started earlier and head over to East End Market this weekend, where options for a mellower take on Hallmark-created romance abound.
First Friday’s delights on Feb. 6 from 4-8 p.m. include food and drink specials, a live DJ, family games and cocktails outside (where you can snuggle if this Florida cold snap persists) and an extra hour open to make your romantic intentions known.
If you’re sticking with tradition, though, scroll on for options from high-end hotel splurges to nostalgic fast-food fixes, because this Hallmark holiday spawns a plethora of specials that cut through all the demographics. Read on for options a’plenty!
