Hip Trips with Cheldin: A Simply Perfect Valentine’s Day 

Valentine’s Day has never been one of my favorite holidays. Even now as a happily married woman I can’t say I am truly in love with the occasion—it comes with a few too many expectations and responsibilities. Should I get him a gift or just a card? Should I be romantic or try to play it cool? Decisions, decisions, decisions! But in Philadelphia, you can’t resist the opportunity to celebrate. Whether it is an elegant evening out on the town or a quiet and peaceful one at home with that special someone—the options are endless.

To help you make your Valentine's Day special, I’ve crafted a simple yet perfect way to celebrate cupid’s favorite day.

          3 Easy Steps to a Simply Perfect Valentine’s Day in Philadelphia:

1. Start one step at a time
   

Even though this Philadelphia weather has not been ideal for strolling the streets, holding hands with the one you love while walking through Rittenhouse Square is still one of the most romantic things you can do. Remember to take your time and enjoy every moment.

2.       Time to dine

Philadelphia is a food-loving city, so make sure to make your reservations in advance. My husband and I love Davio’s Northern Italian Steakhouse! The ambiance is perfect for a romantic dinner for two. You’ll love the cocktails!

Thankfully, Davio’s takes the guessing out of ordering the ideal meal by offering couples a fixed menu of delicious Valentine’s Day selections. From amazing appetizers to delectable desserts, Davio’s has the perfect menu for a savory Valentine’s Day dinner.

3.       Save your dessert for home

Ask your waiter or waitress to pack your dessert to GO! Though the rest of the evening could be spent at Davio’s, I’m sure your time together could be better spent enjoying one of their signature desserts in the comfort of your own home. Simply end your perfect night enjoying a delicious dessert with that special someone.

There are a number of extravagant things you could do to make your Valentine’s Day special. But, I assure you that this Valentine’s Day date in Philadelphia will be perfect and unforgettable!
