If you're not currently involved in a relationship, we think the best way to spend this day is with friends! Go out and have fun, pamper yourself a bit, and enjoy being independent.
Ideas for Single Ladies:
- Manicure/Pedicure
- Massage/Facial -- we LOVE Shannon Aleksandr Salon & Spa -- check out their Valentine specials this week!
- Shopping: Eastland Mall, Downtown Newburgh, weekend trip to Louisville or Nashville
- Dinner: Some great places for a fun dinner with friends are Bar Louie, CKB in Henderson, Kanpai, Eclipse Tapas, Zuki Downtown, or casual Mexican somewhere like Los Bravos or Acapulco.
- Winery Tour: Explore the Southern Indiana wine trail, or stay close to home and visit Mystique Winery in Lynnville.
- Movie Night: Head out to the theater and catch a new movie or stay in and have friends over for a movie marathon of your choice.
Ideas for Single Gentlemen:
- Spend the day watching sports with friends at a fun, casual restaurant like Buffalo Wild Wings, Roca Bar, Kiplee's, or Backstage Bar & Grill.
- If you're brave enough to get out in colder weather, play a round of golf.
- Do a beer tasting course at Tin Man Brewing Company.
- Have friends over for a "guys night" movie marathon. Watch all those silly/scary/action-filled movies a lady might not enjoy.
- Go out on a limb and put together a nice gathering for both your male and female friends. Cater in food, have music and games ready to go, and create a relaxed atmosphere where no one will even remember it's Valentine's Day!
For anyone in a relationship or marriage:
- Enjoy the traditional dinner and a movie date night. Our favorite local "date" restaurants are Bonefish Grill, Biaggi's, Haub Steakhouse, Madeleine's, new favorite Sauced, and The Red Geranium in New Harmony. Our advice is to book a reservation in advance!
- Cook at home, especially if you don't cook often. Scour Pinterest or Google some ideas for meals. You'll avoid the crowds at restaurants and your significant other will be very impressed that you put such effort into a nice meal!
- Take a weekend trip. Since the holiday falls on a Saturday this year, use this time to spend together. Visit French Lick for the day or weekend and explore the beautiful West Baden Hotel and French Lick Winery. They also have live entertainment, afternoon tea, a wonderful spa, and of course, the casino.
- Do something your significant other loves to do. Guys, if your lady has been asking you do to a couples' massage with her for years, surprise her and take her this Valentine's Day. Or ladies, if your guy has been hinting at wanting to go see the Ice Men play or wants to watch their favorite team's basketball game, volunteer to watch with them. It's a nice gesture on a day that is all about showing love to those special people in your life.
- Plan an activity that is out of the ordinary. Visit the new renovations at the Evansville Museum and Planetarium or plan a tour of The Reitz Home Museum. Another fun option would be to take a painting class at Rose & Monet.
