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 in Norwood or head to Patriot Place to dine at Tavolino, and enjoy the romance and ambiance of Italy right in your neighborhood.

Movie night at Patriot Place - Head to Showcase Cinema de Lux at Patriot Place where 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. See the "The Vow" in the Lux Level on Feb. 14 and receive a free box of chocolates.

Spa Treatment - Foxborough 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, 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 neighborhood shops for that local touch. Looking for something a little different?
