here’s nothing quite like celebrating Valentine’s Day with someone you love, and it’s all the more special when you can support your community while you’re at it. This Valentine’s Day, why not try a local restaurant or activity as part of the romance?
Activities
Paint & Escape
Paint & Escape At Paint & Escape, couples can choose between a paint and sip or an escape room. In the past, it has hosted an event on Valentine’s Day weekend during which couples paint on canvas, create balloon bouquets and play a dating game.
AR Workshop
AR Workshop Looking for some new home decor? At AR Workshop, you and your partner can design a wooden sign while you create memories together. “It’s a cozy, intimate atmosphere,” says Michelle Plumby, the franchise owner. “(You) can have alone time but still be in a place with other people.” Plumby recommends bringing your own wine and food to the date.
