Are you waiting until last minute for your Valentine’s Day plan? Well aren’t we all! I figured I might as well help all the guys out so we aren’t caught with our pants down, our dates are taking them down! So look no farther as I’m providing you with the best date spots and idea for Valentine’s Day on Long Island!

Top 10 Date Spots for Valentine’s Day

Now some of the ones listed below are a littlle basic. But, why are they basic? Because they are good! The restauarnts below are some of the best on Long Island and if you’re reading this you’re significant other deserves the best. So make that reservation now, these will sell out. I did try to mix in a few not as known so if these are sold out you can eat at a normal time and not 10pm or 3pm dinner.

How I’m Spending Valentine’s Day

Personally, I’m going out with my girlfriend February 13th so we won’t have to deal with the Valentine’s Day crazies. You know, the people that are so angry that they’re day needs to be perfect. Then on Valentine’s Day we’re laying low and cooking at home. Valentine’s Day doesn’t need to be stressful or expensive. It’s supposed to be a day dedicated to making the person you love most smile. So whether you’re booking a reservation, using inKind to save money, or skipping dinner entirely for an experience Long Island has plenty of options if you plan it right.
