ROMANCE

Valentine's Day: what to do, see, eat, bowl
« Go

Our round-up of Valentine's Day suggestions for your (presumably) romantic weekend and beyond. From unconventional activities to fine dining. From "Casablanca" to Channing Tatum.

Here's what to do and when to do it.

An unexpected and inexpensive V-Day

Sometimes, romance pops into your life over a greasy cheese frenchee and a dollar margarita.

Or while you're wearing a pair of rented shoes and sharing a pitcher of beer.

Or while you're playing a vintage Ms. Pacman game in a dingy arcade and sipping a fountain soda pop.

While there's much to be said for romance over candles and beautiful food at a classy restaurant, there's also something about finding romance in the most unexpected places.

Read our suggestions for some unexpected and inexpensive V-Day alternatives.

"The Vow" has three things going for it: likable stars, a director who knows how to stay away from Saccharine-sweet sentimentality and a compelling story.

Read the full review of a "perfect" Valentine's Day movie.
