Spaghetti dinner!
ReplyDeleteA local cultural event--around here, many of the best restaurants offer small plates at $3 each for a festival called Broad Appetit, with local stores displaying art.

walking through the city for dinner but eating at food carts along the way
ReplyDeleteFirst, I love your blog redesign! Second, ADORABLE NECKLACE. Third, the perfect Valentine's Day date for me would consist of making dinner and dessert together and then watching a movie at home. I love days where I never have to leave the apartment, haha!

My best date night involves Netflix, a fire in the fireplace, Chinese take-out, snuggles, and no children! (I'm a simple woman.)
ReplyDeleteI tweeted your giveaway. @missanomaly
ReplyDeleteMy favorite date involves going to hot springs, or if you do not live somewhere where there are hot springs, renting a hot tub at night under the stars.
ReplyDeleteI now follow Mary's blog.

Nothing is more romantic than enjoying a quiet nighttime walk together under a full moon or starry sky. Unfortunately it's snowing and/or at freezing temps right now!

Best date would be going on an adventure together, whether it be scuba diving or exploring a part of the city we haven't been to before!
ReplyDeletelyndazoo [at] yahoo [dot] com
thanks for hosting this fantastic giveaway! my idea of the best date is to do an architectural tour of your city/town! my boyfriend and i have done this where each of us finds 2-3 places within a certain geographical radius that we want to take the other and will research the background/history and then map out our journey the day of the date! picnic and polaroids are mandatory. balloons can be optional :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting such a great giveaway! For a special date, I would like to get all dressed up, try a new restaurant (somewhere fancy), then come home and snuggle with my man, my dogs, and some great wine:)

My husband and I had the perfect date night the other night. We had a wonderful dinner together and then played Trivial pursuit and laughed at each other, then we played Goodnight Sweetheart a game for couples and I learned something about him I never knew before, his favorite toy as a child. It was just that feeling of intimacy and closeness that made it the perfect date!

ReplyDeleteKitschy: An evening at the roller rink (rented skates and all!) followed by a visit to a local pizza joint.
ReplyDeleteCultural: An afternoon at the science or art museum and then a cosy dinner at a Peruvian or Ethiopian restaurant (the Ethiopian restaurant would probably have honey wine!), and then maybe some stargazing!

ReplyDeleteone of my most favorite vday ideas was when i had his favorite beer shipped to him - it's a kind that you can only buy in Kansas City and we live in NYC. he still says that's his favorite present!
Best date would be to explore a place we both love - a new art gallery followed by a romantic dinner.

A romantic dinner at our favorite restaurant followed by a nighttime walk along the lake, perfect!
ReplyDeleteMy date idea is influenced by the recent snowstorm we've had in the Midwest :)
ReplyDeleteFirst, we'd get our friends together and have a giant snowball fight/build snow igloos. Then, once our friends leave, my date and I would make some hot cocoa with marshmallows and snuggle up in our snow igloo. After our cocoa, we'd make snow angels and eat some warm dinner together in front of the fireplace.
Thanks for the great giveaway!

One of my favorite dates I went on with my hubster was going on a secret stairway walking tour of Nob Hill in San Francisco. There is so much history, architecture and natural beauty that can only be discovered on foot. You completely miss it driving by in a car.

Best date for this Valentines, eh? Well, I would love to go to Chicago (which is what my boy is doing, I believe) and take lots of pictures. I love when he takes mine. I'm a photographer so I'm always the one behind the camera and never in the photos! I want to go to Noodles & Co as well, that is one of my favorite places to eat!
