It is that time of year again, and whether you like it or not the season of love is upon us. It seems like everywhere you turn there is an advertisement for something to do on Valentine’s Day. Some of us love it, and others hate it, but the truth is that it’s an unavoidable phenomenon. Whether you’re spending it with a significant other or some close friends, here are five great ideas for that special day.
Ice Skating at Olympic Plaza
In the wintertime, there is nothing more romantic than an evening at Olympic Plaza. Something about the combinaton of brisk air and potential hand-holding contribute to a perfect way to spend your evening without spending a dime. Wrap it up with hot chocolate at a nearby coffee shop for a sweet end to a great date.
Get some friends together for the 50 Shades of Grey Premier
Single on a day dedicated to love? Why not get your friends together for the most scandalous movie of 2015? It’s the perfect cure for the Valentine’s Day blues and you get to be first to see the movie that everyone has been talking about.
Have a romantic night at Cafe Koi
It wouldn’t be surprising if you’ve never heard of Cafe Koi. Located just off of 10th Ave, they serve great food, awesome cocktails and offer a different performance every night of the week. Feel the romance in the air by booking a reservation there for “A Night of Soul and R&B for Lovers” and just a few blocks down Village Ice Cream awaits. It may be winter, but let’s face it, it’s never too cold for a scoop of homemade ice cream.
Have a movie night
There’s nothing better than a good movie night and whether you’re with friends or on a date, it’s a sure-fire way to have a great and easy on the wallet night. Order a pizza, crack open some drinks and hit up Netflix for a nice, simple evening. Ladies, this might be the one time of year that it’ll be easy to convince your man to watch that cheesy chick-flick with you, so be sure to jump on that bandwagon.

Feeling adventurous? Take advantage of the snow by taking a day-trip to the mountains. There are tons of potential options for activities, and whether you’re hitting the slopes or staying warm indoors, it’ll be a Valentine’s Day you’ll never forget.
