Let's face it: No matter how low-key your significant other may be, there's always some pressure to plan the perfect Valentine's Day. Making the perfect meal shouldn't be adding to your agita.
If the extent of your culinary experience is making mac 'n' cheese in the microwave, going out for dinner that night should be a no-brainer. And even if you're pretty good in the kitchen, there's no need to put that pressure on yourself when you can focus your energy on your date at an even better meal right around the corner.
And while sponteneity can be sexy, planning ahead with restaurant reservations is a must for Valentine's Day if you don't want to get shut out. Metromix, as usual, is here to save the day with plenty of Hudson Valley restaurant options for when Cupid calls.
