With Valentine’s Day falling on a Tuesday this year, it’s tempting to just do the usual dinner and roses thing. But with a little bit of spare cash, you can surprise your sweetie with a fabulous whirlwind trip to one of the continent’s greatest cities.
While most folks dream of sipping umbrella drinks on sandy shores, or schussing down powdery mountain slopes, there are deals to be had in some of the top cities in North America. After all, the world-class restaurants, hopping nightlife and mind-bending museums don’t close, just because the weather is chilly.
So pack your puffy coats, hats and scarves, and enjoy the best of these vibrant metropolitan areas, all on a budget you couldn’t touch at any other time of the year!
Take a bite out of the Big Apple and shop till you drop or visit the iconic Empire State Building or Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Plaza. A cruise past the Statue of Liberty may be chilly, but well worth your time! Broadway and off-Broadway shows will dazzle and delight, so be sure not to miss this opportunity when you are there.
Known for the blues, deep-dish pizza and world-class shopping along the Magnificent Mile, prepare to be ‘blown away” by this Windy City. Water views are abundant in Chicago, as the city is situated along the shores of Lake Michigan and the Chicago River. A trip to Navy Pier and a turn around the new bigger and faster Ferris Wheel is a must for every visitor to this bustling city.
Home of Paul Revere and the beginning of the American Revolution, Boston is the birthplace of freedom. Newberry Street, Faneuil Hall, Copley Square and Bunker Hill will take you back in time, you as you reflect on some of the most defining moments in our nation’s history.
Toronto
Our friends to the north know how to put together a city for entertainment, theater, shopping and dining too. St. Lawrence Market, the Ontario Science Center, or a dinner cruise in Toronto’s Inner Harbor will make your Valentine smile on this trip across the border.
Montreal
French-inspired epicurean delights, fashions directly from Paris, and the sound of French being spoken everywhere will make you believe you have gone over the pond. Bonsecours Market, the Notre Dame Bascilica and shopping at Underground City and Complexe Dejardins will yield fashions and finds that will wow your friends back home.
