We love you for Ever-ett - Valentine's Day 2017

Everett is for lovers. In fact, it was voted one of the most romantic cities in the US (true story).

Here are some tips and advice on things to do for Valentine's Day 2017 in Everett.

If You're Dating/Married

Casually Dating: If it's a first or second date, go somewhere you'll make a good impression and will be easy to hold a conversation. These spots all have well-lit romantic vibes.

Seriously Dating or Married: If you've been together for awhile, don't get lazy and stay in watching Netflix. Yeah, Valentine's Day is a corporate sham, but life is short. Go out and have fun with your love.

Start with a walk at the Marina (ask lots of questions), grab dinner at any of the waterfront restaurants, then finish the night off with drinks at the Anchor Pub or At Large Brewing. Stay out late, enjoy each other. Don't drink too much though... you know why. It's Tuesday...

If You are Single

Start off listening to this song. Or, uh, this song. Pour yourself a glass of Charles Shaw, draw a bath, get in the bath. Cry. Go to bed.

JK, being single isn't bad! Don't let this holiday fool you into thinking you're not special. Do whatever you want, stay out late with friends, eat a whole pie, fart in bed - whatever suits your fancy. Some of my favorite places to go with friends or when I'm flying solo are:

The New Mexicans (we dig their cinnamon rolls)
Taco Tuesday at Sol Food or Mazatlan Mexican Restaurant
For bars: The Anchor Pub, The Irishmen Pub, The Soundview, The Fireplace
For dessert: Milkshakes from Mikie's, Henry's Donuts, and TCBY.

If you have kids

Meh, it's a weeknight anyways. Probably not worth getting a sitter. Put the kids to bed, grab a movie, order a pizza from Major League or Thai from Bhu Ping. Share some wine (get something good from Wicked Cellars), or a La Croix then go hard on some Ben and Jerry's. Wait until Friday to go out.

If You're on a budget

If you're on a budget but want to impress your date, hit up one of these spots. All offer food deals for less than $10/person.

Happy Hour at Lombardi's or Anthony's Woodfire
Bhu Ping Thai (we recommend the crab wontons with pineapple sauce)
Mazatlan Mexican Restaurant
Moontree Asian Tapas (the best happy hour in Everett)
Kai Sushi
Kama'aina Grindz
NYP Bar and Grill
