Can you feel it? The Valley is buzzing with excitement. From Super Bowl LVII, to WM Phoenix Open, the city hasn’t felt this alive in years. With visitors in town flocking to all the hottest establishments and locals also attending all the exciting events Scottsdale has to offer this month, our city is truly the place to be in February.

In addition to giving the scoop on all the can’t-miss events (pages 55, 60, 62, 68 and 70 – whew, that’s a lot!), we’re also shining a light on the another exciting happening this month: Valentine’s Day. This issue is truly for lovers, as we’re showcasing five local married couples navigating the entrepreneurial world together (page 48).

Other lovely highlights include: romantic retreats right here in Scottsdale (page 56), recently opened statewide luxe lodging (page 66), a red shot that screams romance (page 104), date night getups (page 84), candleholders for setting an alluring mood (page 78), and a heart-shaped, pink token (page 75) that will bring gifting your loved one – or yourself – to a new level.

Those looking to celebrate Galentine’s Day (get it, gal-entines?), aka a girl’s day out, should also consider booking a trip on the new Champagne Train (page 96), which is basically the newer, better version of a party bus, complete with stops at wine bars in Old Town Scottsdale and a bartender on board pouring rosé all day. What could be better?

Additional features include a look at the new Federal American Grill (page 122), all the best spots if planning a trip to Miami (page 100), and cocktails made with local liquors (page 102).

All my best, Gabby
