Since Valentine's Day falls on a Sunday this year, it's the perfect time to spend the whole day doing something extra special. Here are a few ideas:
1. Have a staycation in the city. Many hotels do special Valentine's packages. Find them by clicking here.
2. Chinese New Year's Parade, Ice Skating & Dim Sum: "The big Chinese New Year Parade in Boston's Chinatown falls on Sunday, February 14 this year - so for a non-traditional Valentine's Day experience, watch the colorful Dragon Dances march up and down the streets. Then head to your favorite Chinatown restaurant for dim sum (or check out our suggestions). Mid-February weather is usually perfect for ice skating - so walk over to Boston Common (depending on where you go for dim sum, just a few blocks away at most) and take a spin on the ice. "
3. Go on a romantic dinner cruise. Gourmet dinner, champagne, & dancing on a boat is never a bad time. Click here to purchase tickets.
4. Dine in the dark: "Boston’s first dark dining experience has all the makings of the most unique dining experience you’ll ever have. You’ll dine in our famed Beacon Hill mansion; enjoy a four course dinner as well as inspiring music and a story that ties it all together. Part fine dining, part interactive theater, all fun. Dining in the Dark is a world-wide sensation." Click here to reserve your spot.
5. Stay in. Make dinner. Watch Netflix.
