I wanted to have a special Valentine's Day in Detroit, and am looking for unique ideas.

Where do you plan to go and what do you plan to do? What have you done in the past?

Jesus, Cheddar.. :-)

I've done a restaurant in Greektown, then a walk down to the river if it's not too cold. Ice floes.

This will be the oddest Valentine's Day for us. We will be attending a memorial service for a friend who died.

If you need unique, have a winter picnic on Belle Isle and go ice skating or land ski. Hot chocolate and Schnaps do wonders for a romantic interlude.

Sumas, my condolences.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone (but cripes, Cheddar_bob!). I came up with a few ideas :-)

problem with V day this year is it's on a Saturday. which means everybody and their half monkey uncle will be out and about standing in long lines at some skating rink or restaurant all evening. Fiance and I are celebrating at home. I'll be cooking up a nice dinner for the two of us and probably renting some movies. Nice and relaxing....

That's what it's all about Raptor. I've taken to doing that lately with gf. NYE at home watching Korean horror movies, champagne, and popcorn, plus a home cooked dinner. Nice on the wallet, and it's what she likes to do anyway. :-)
