Get Ready for Galentine’s Day
The unofficial holiday, “Galentine’s Day”, has been sweeping the interwebs lately. So what is Galentine’s Day anyway… and how can we celebrate? Basically, Galentine’s Day is a play on Valentine’s Day, but focused on celebrating female friendships. Galentine’s Day, takes place February 13th. Ladies, grab your gal pals and find a way to celebrate downtown.
Here are a few fun ideas:
Go to the movies: New Roc Cinemas has some fun ones that evening: you can watch one friend bravely save another from danger in Miss Bala, go for the hilarious with Rebel Wilson’s Isn’t It Romantic, or…catch a special reshowing of the 1987 hit Dirty Dancing! Nobody puts Baby in a corner!
Try a New Restaurant: Have you tried the tapas at Patrias, or the small plates at the Gnarly Vine? (P.S. Two for one sangria on Thursdays!
Hit up Sip & Paint at Alvin and Friends. Taught by Instructor Chermia Amour, learn how to master the art of painting. Fee for the event includes all supplies and your first glass of wine!
