Valentine’s Day is a good opportunity for you and your loved one to spend a romantic day together, but let’s face it – you don’t want to be too cliché and corny. Make your spend Valentine’s in Chicago extra special – without the cheese – with these suave ideas.
Be adventurous
Who says you can’t get a rush of adrenaline while you get all lovey-dovey and romantic? Skip the champagne and chocolates or just share them later after going on the Chicago Ghost Tour. You can have your honey hold your hand or stay close to you each time you encounter something scary. You can also try the skydeck of the Willis Tower and brave the heights together. Consider going airborne – hop on the hot air balloon in Crystal Lake courtesy of Silver Lining Balloons.
A dinner for two
If you choose the right restaurant, Valentine’s Day dinner is never cheesy. Get a table at these establishments, which have been staples for Valentine’s in Chicago. They’re unpretentious, serve great food and drinks, and most of all, they are never over-the-top cliché.
Start your evening by visiting Bull & Bear at 431 N Wells, which has an upscale ambiance and masculine sports bar feel. If your date likes beer, perhaps its coolest feature are the taps on the tables, which you pay for by the ounce. Next is Excalibur, which is Located in the neighborhood of River North at 632 N. Dearborn Street. Here, you can enjoy late-night partying until dawn or a laid-back evening of eating your favorite food while playing video games.
Also in River North is the NV Penthouse where trendy crowds are prepared to spend money on a good bottle of champagne. This lounge is a good place to enjoy cocktails with bubbly tunes played by DJs. Consider stepping outside on the terrace to enjoy views of the Chicago skyline.
