Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, but some couples may be celebrating the holiday a day or two early this year since it falls on a Monday. For those that want a night out, especially involving drinks, celebrating on the Friday or Saturday night before might be a great idea so that you’re not overly tired for work the following day. Some venues have already caught on to this idea and will be hosting a romantic night out the weekend before Valentine’s Day.
Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, for example, is one spot that has already announced that they will be hosting a Harbor Nights Romantico on Friday, February 11, from 6:30 PM – 9:00 PM EST. You and your special someone can celebrate the most romantic holiday with a lively evening on the Italian-inspired Harbor Piazza at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel. It’s a truly authentic Italian evening set beside a picturesque harbor that’s perfect for a date night or a fun night out with friends. The glow of twinkling lights, the aroma of Italian cuisine, the sounds of live music in the air…it may not be the Mediterranean coast, but hey, it is la dolce vita – the sweet life – at its finest!
The menu will feature wines and chef-inspired food stations. Exceptional restaurants will be taking part in this event where they will be featuring a wide range of authentic Italian fare and other classic favorites. Take time to try the fare at each of these Harbor Nights food stations (visit each as often as you like throughout the night!). The menu will include items such as:
