The month of February can be a tough one, between finding a date for Valentine’s Day, trying to make a reservation at a restaurant that’s been booked for months, or just trying to figure out a fun night out with your gals. Well, have no fear, ya girl is here (to save the day that is!)
It’s the weekend of Valentine’s Day, so if you’re stuck on what to do or where to go, here’s a few of my picks for this weekend or Vday – date or not!
1. Valentine’s Day Fireworks at Navy Pier
One of my favorite things to do every Summer is to attend the Navy Pier Fireworks. Now, you can enjoy the spectacular light show in the sky just in time for Love at the Pier Valentine’s Day weekend festivities starting on Saturday, February 10 at 9 p.m.
Make a date out of it, have dinner along the Chicago River or take a romantic ride on the Centennial Wheel at Navy Pier. You can also enjoy a stroll through the Tunnel of Love or wine and dine at Chef Art’s Reunion restaurant.
2. Wine and Dine at Marisol – the Museum of Contemporary Art
There’s nothing like a lovely evening with the person you love at an art museum accompanied by a 4-course dinner. Join Marisol at the Museum of Contemporary Art this Valentine’s Day (Feb 14) between 5:30 p.m. and 9 p.m., as they prepare an evening of fine dining surrounded by beautiful conceptual artwork.
Tickets are $100/per person – Purchase tickets here and view the full menu here.
3. Valentine’s Day Taste Around at Eataly
You can just smell the love in the air, or shall I say taste it? Enjoy a weekend full of 10+ tastings of a variety of Italian favorites at Eataly that will include everything from wine and pizza to gelato and truffles. You will get a chance to explore more when you reserve your tasting for this Saturday, February 10 between 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Tickets are $55/per person – Reserve your ticket here. Must be 21 to attend and be sure to wear comfortable shoes as it is standing room only.
4. Eat, Play, Love at Pinstripes
Challenge your bae to a little friendly competition in the lane! And the good news is you don’t have to do it on Valentine’s Day. All February long, Pinstripes is giving you a complimentary hour on your bowling reservation. (Must book at least one hour to redeem)
