Valentine's Day in the Dallas Design District

Flowers? Check. Chocolate? Check. Perfect Valentine’s Day date with your honey? Not quite...

Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it. But if you have no idea what to plan for date night, don’t worry! The Dallas Design District’s got you covered.

Food and Drinks

Whether you and your special someone love sitting down for a fancy meal complete with wine and candlelight or something a bit more laid-back, there’s a perfect spot for you in the DDD. For the former, reserve a spot at Oak and enjoy a drool-worthy four-course menu, and kick it up a notch with the optional scotch or wine pairing.

Or for a slightly more casual vibe, you could always check out the three-course Valentine’s Day menu and specialty cocktails at El Bolero. For the ultimate low-key meal, share a pizza or a bowl of pasta at Sassetta.

Activities

If you and your sweetie pie are the active type, taking a class together might be the more romantic choice. Sign up for a session together at Dallas Glass Art and create a piece to remember forever. Learn how to cook your own romantic love feast for you and your bae at The Cookery. And for you art-loving lovers, watch contemporary artist JD Miller create a masterpiece live at Samuel Lynne Galleries. Or if you’d rather, stretch and sweat it out with yoga and a sauna at Balancing Energy Health & Yoga Center. Or, take in the Trinity River and hit the trail at the Continental Bridge.  

Shopping

If you and your love are shoppers, the DDD is the place to be for Valentine's Day. For the newly cohabitating couple, forget arguing over who gets to keep what chair. Start fresh with a look made for just the two of you and pick up something one-of-a-kind at Again & Again. Or for modern furnishings and decor, stop by Scoot + Cooner. And for a little antiquing, you can’t go wrong at Uncommon Market.

But if you’re looking to freshen up your own looks, there’s always the breezy dresses and rompers at Buddy Love.

Family

Family fun is also a great idea for couples with little loved ones. Imagine the fun and deliciousness your family will enjoy with a Valentine’s Cookie Decorating kit from Celebrity Cafe & Bakery. Or if bowling is right up your family’s alley, knock down a couple (or more) pins at Bowlounge. But if home is where the heart is, grab a pie to go from Pie Tap Pizza Workshop + Bar.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. And luckily, thanks to the Dallas Design District, there's no chance you'll get stuck with nothing to do or nowhere to go.
