It’s the time of the season for loving, a 1960s British rock band once crooned.
We’re not sure if the Zombies were talking about the entire first two weeks of February, when the whole world around us is decked out in hearts, flowers, and all things pink. All we can say is, Valentine’s Day is a time when love runs high. (That’s on February 14, in case you… ahem… needed a reminder.)
Here at Houstonia, we love to give you all the tools and recommendations for you to make the most out of the city, whether that’s suggesting new Houston restaurants you should eat at or your next destination for a quick day trip if you need an escape.
Leading up to Valentine’s Day, you’re probably desperately looking for a reservation to a romantic restaurant, or wondering what fun activities you could enjoy with your loved one this weekend, or shopping around for the perfect gift… maybe even a ring?
While we can’t help you on that very last part, we have everything else covered, all here in one handy spot. You’re welcome, and happy Valentine’s Day, y’all.
