Attn: Singles! 5 Valentine’s Day Options That Aren’t Actually for Valentines

We’re not going to waste anyone’s time by writing a cute list of romantic things to do on Valentine’s Day. Sorry, but if you have a significant other and haven’t figured out your plans by now, that’s completely your problem. The pricey prix-fixe dinners are booked.

This list is strictly for those who wish February 14th was a normal Monday. We hear you, and we present you with a couple of food and drink events to keep you from sitting alone on the couch cuddling your TV remote.

Love Stinks Valentine’s Day Party

Second Annual Anti-Valentine’s Day Singles’ Bash

Stonedeck Pizza Pub Valentine’s Day

• Where: Stonedeck Pizza Pub
• Date: February 14th, 7 PM - 9 PM

Details: Okay, so technically, this event could appeal to couples too, featuring pizza in the shape of a heart and an annoyingly named moonshine flight called “Moonlight Kisses.” But think about it - you can’t eat a heart shaped pizza without destroying it, and there is nothing better than moonshine to help you forget what day it is.
