Ah, Valentine’s Day is almost upon us – arguably the most divided holiday of the year.
Whether you think it’s a contrived “hallmark holiday” or you love an excuse to give and get candy hearts and chocolate, there’s a few cool sales and events in the area :
- Bar Ferdinand in Northern Liberties is featuring a drool worthy brunch and dinner special on Sunday February 14th. Some of the brunch options include – potato galette with Osetra caviar and saffron crème fraiche, goat cheese crepes, French toast stuffed with blueberry and citrus chard , plus their paptas bravas (I highly recommend!) Dinner is a prix fixe $65 or $75 menu with delicous options like Rhode Island oysters, striped bass or filet mignon and much more. And, as always they have a superb wine selection. Make reservations for brunch here, and dinner here. Questions? Call 215) 923-1313.
- Who doesn’t associate Valentine ’s Day with chocolate and treats? It’s a perk even if you’re not a fan of the holiday. The GreenWood Kitchen & Bake Shop offers a selection of vegan, gluten free, wheat free, and refined sugar free delicacies! Check out their locations here.
