Whether you’re loveless, casually dating, or are currently in a relationship, you won’t run out of options when celebrating Valentine’s Day in Chicago. In this post, we give you a rundown of some cool ideas for that special day.
Taking It Easy
Enjoy a nice Valentine’s Day in Chicago at Garfield Park Conservatory. There is an annual Valentines’ Day dance and a two-day chocolate festival held at the park. If you want to be more “traditional,” why not hit the movie houses? Coming in movie theaters this Valentine’s season are the “The Wolfman,” “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief,” “The Yellow Handkerchief,” and of course, that movie “Valentine’s Day.”
Wining and Dining
If you know your way around the kitchen, make the day extra special by preparing a lovely meal for that special someone. Some of the delicious dishes suited for the Valentine season are steak in shallot Merlot sauce, shrimp with cocktail sauce, a melange of vegetables, and desserts such as cheesecakes, ice cream, red velvet cakes and chocolate chip cookies. If you haven’t got time to cook, then make a reservation in a nice restaurant – there are many of those in the city. Restaurants in Chicago usually have a special Valentine’s Day menu. The Four Seasons Hotel in Chicago in Delaware, Chicago Marriot Downtown in North Michigan Avenue, and the Lockwood restaurant and bar at Monroe Street are great options.
Valentine’s Day Nightlife in Chicago
You can also party the night away at the hippest clubs and bars in Chicago. Check out the coolest music in Cityscape Bar, or party hard at Enclave. Get those hips grooving at Manor. If you prefer the lounge, hit Chicago Avenue and check Martini Ranch. If you’re single, you might even meet a date at one of these bars/clubs.
