How to Celebrate Valentine's Day Locally

Check out some of these local options for gifts, dinners, and special Valentine's Day plans.

Dinner in Italy (Well, sort of) - Make reservations today for a Valentine's Day dinner at Boncaldo Italian Restaurant, and enjoy the romance and ambience of Italy right in your neighborhood. Feeling extra indulgent? Split a chocolate mousse dessert with chocolate sauce and fresh raspberries.

Movie night at Legacy Place - Just up the road in Dedham you can have a classic dinner and a movie sort of Valentine's Day. Our advice? Pre-order tickets here for "The Vow," opening Feb. 10, starring Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum.

Spa Treatment - Norwood is home to a number of different spa options, with different specialties. Check out some of the options and treat your significant other to the gift of relaxation and pampering.

Luke Adams Glass - Looking for a different kind of date night? Schedule a glass-blowing session at Luke Adams Glass, right here in Norwood. Leave your session with a unique and completely handmade pendant, bracelet, or ring made with your special someone.

Skating at Patriot Place - Just because we've had an unseasonably warm winter doesn't mean you can't enjoy the charm and romance of a New England February. Winter Skate at Patriot Place is open from 4:00-9:00 p.m. on Valentine's Day. Spend $100 at Godiva Chocolates between now and Feb. 14 and get two free passes.

Flowers, Chocolates or Fruit - Drop in to one of the local florists or check out a national option like ProFlowers.com to have an arrangement delivered to your darling's home or place of work. Valentine's chocolates are available at just about any grocery or gift store, but there are also for that local touch. Looking for something a little different? Send an Edible Arrangement!
