Sometimes V-day Ain't So Bad...

Valentine's Day options:

-Upstairs on the Square in Harvard Sqaure will be hosting a variety of events, but this one seems to hit the spot - St. Singles Day Party in the Monday Club Bar. Wednesday, Feb 13th from 9:30-1:00 AM. Drinks are in the single digits, and snacks are on the house (with $13 admin fee). The restaurant recommends making a reservation, as this event sold out last year. See you there - I'll be one of the brunette's with the red drink. ;)

- Daily Candy offers a fun idea from local Chocolatier, Serenade Chocolates - chocolate pinata cakes. With retail locations at South Station Boston and Brookline, its easy to order these fun cakes at the store or online. Check out the goodies inside the cakes and the different designs. The cakes are available all year round, but V-day cakes must be ordered by Feb.8.
