Choose Your Own Northumberland Valentine’s Day Adventure
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. If you're like most
men you'll be hitting your local jeweller February 14th or stopping
by the flower shop on your way home. But why not give your special someone a little something more
this year? Why not give the gift of an experience? Now I know what you're
thinking; it’s already the week of Valentine’s Day and who has time to plan
that out? Not to worry, here at Life in Northumberland we have you covered with
our “Choose your own Northumberland Adventure fool proof Valentine’s Day on a
budget!”
Adventure #1: Romance in Port Hope
Start your Valentine’s Day planning by making a reservation
at one of Port Hopes finest restaurants; Cravingz. They are offering two
seating times and a special 5 course Valentine’s Day menu that includes their
famous black bean brownies! They are also featuring live music and all for only
$100 per couple!
Now dinner in itself isn't that innovative, but where you
really impress your special someone is in the details. I'd suggest ordering a
dozen roses from Holton’s Flowers on Walton Street and have them delivered and
awaiting your arrival at your table.
Now it wouldn't be Valentine’s Day without chocolates, and Port
Hope has one the best Chocolatiers around. Pop by Mercury Chocolates on John
Street and pick up a box of their delectable creations. It’s the
perfect way to end a romantic Valentine’s Day for two in Port Hope.
Budget: Under $200
Dinner: Cravingz Port Hope
Flowers: Holtons Flowers, delivered to the table
Dessert: Mercury Chocolates
Adventure #2: Winter Nights in Cobourg
For the more adventuresome couple, start your Valentine’s
Day at Rotary Park for a romantic skate on the outdoor rink under the stars.
Following your tour of the ice rink, head on over to Harden & Huyse on
Division Street to warm up with some Hot Coco and sweets. Once you've had some
time to warm up and unwind, it’s time to get your dancing shoes on for the Help
Us Keep the Beat Valentine’s Day dance in support of the Heart & Stroke
Foundation at the Lions Club. What better way to end a very special Valentine’s
Day than an evening of dancing in support of a great cause! Tickets are $20 a
couple and the event features a silent auction, DJ, and light refreshments.
Budget: Under $100
Skating: Rotary Park
