With Valentine’s Day around the corner, it’s time to start planning to spend a fantastic evening with your significant other.
If you haven’t thought about anything yet, or if you’re thinking about going the extra mile and doing something special, a trip to one of the United State’s most romantic cities may just be the thing you’re looking for.
Here are some ideas to spend a romantic and unforgettable adventure this February 14h.
San Francisco
San Francisco is all about innovation mixed with tradition, and this applies to romance as well. The city is full of traditional and non-traditional ideas for lovers that will transform any date into a night to remember.
A lovely picnic at the Golden Gate Park is a fantastic way of starting the day, though if you’d rather do something at night, you might want to change the location to the Bay Lights Show and its magical colors.
Share dinner in one of the city’s many Spanish, Italian or French restaurants, or if you’re a foodie at heart, take a Gourmet Walk tour with your partner, enjoying delicious and creative food, champagne and gourmet chocolate.
If your idea of a romantic evening can’t be complete without stunning views, then head over to The Top of the Mark, one of San Francisco’s tallest rooftop hotels, and a perfect place to enjoy delicious cocktails or a fantastic glass of wine.
Are you looking for a fun activity that can be enjoyed by singles and partners? Then you’re going to love Justin Heman Plaza’s Valentine’s Day Pillow Fight, a free-for-all pillow battle royale that’s bound to create amazing memories.
Los Angeles
When it comes to glamorous destinations, it’s hard to beat Los Angeles, with its elegant restaurant, vibrant nightclubs, A-list celebrities hangups, and more.
What’s most, while Los Angeles is full of romantic destinations, it also provides ample opportunity to celebrate with your friends, making it a destination worth visiting by both singles and couples alike.
Local restaurants prepare for Valentine’s by sprucing up their menus, decorating their tables, and offering the best champagnes and wines. If you’re looking to celebrate with a romantic dinner, we suggest you check out these restaurants:
- 71Above: A beautiful and cozy restaurant offering a prix fixe dinner of four courses, plus an amuse bouche for $135 per person. ($175 with wine pairing)
- Carbon Beach Club: A romantic venue in Miami Beach offering a three-course, prix fixe menu for $68 per person. ($95 with wine pairing)
If you’d rather spend the day in a place where you can enjoy gorgeous sights, then head over to the Long Beach Harbor Tour and rent a cruise! February is smack-in-the-middle of gray whale season, which means you’ll be able to sail alongside these magnificent creatures while enjoying quality time with your significant other.
Las Vegas
You might be surprised to find Las Vegas in this list, considering just how popular this destination can be for disastrous relationships, but give The City of Second Chances a second chance, because it offers plenty of romantic options for Valentine’s Day.
Las Vegas is full of jaw-dropping gorgeous places to pop the question, such as the Red Rock Canyon or, better yet, The Grand Canyon; What better way of promising your love than in one of the world’s most stunning sceneries?
If you’re one for grand gestures, many of Las Vegas’s shows will cooperate with you to include your proposal in the show, giving you the chance to propose in style.
If big shows aren’t your idea of romance, but you’d still like to do something unique, the Freemont Street Experience, or the Stratosphere Observation Platform are also yours to play with.
Fun as some of these suggestions might be, it’s always a good idea to put your touch to make them extra special; After all, you want to show your pure, unadulterated love, so take these ideas and run with them.
