Valentine’s Day is arriving in Tampa Bay, and love is on the brain.
In reality—because, you know, the pandemic—there’s only one way to celebrate, and that’s at home and only if you and your boo thing have been quarantining together. But we know you’ll risk anything for love, including your life and the lives of others, so here’s what’s happening on the commercialized day of love around Tampa Bay.
Make your reservations, snag your goodies and squeeze the ones you love tight. Don’t forget to tip your service people like your money is on fire, and just so you’re aware, it’s too late to COVID-19 test that person you swiped right on last week.
If you’re a business and have something going down for Valentine’s Day, shoot the info over to [email protected] to be added to the list.
