Valentineโ€™s Day is coming up, and whether youโ€™re putting the sing in single or looking for a candlelight dinner, thereโ€™s plenty to do in the Triangle. 

Valentineโ€™s at The Willard

Need to get away from your roommate for the weekend? Enjoy a night out with a special Valentineโ€™s Day package at the AC Hotel Raleigh Downtown. The deal includes $60 to spend at the hotelโ€™s lovely rooftop bar, a bottle of sparkling wine, chocolate-dipped strawberries, and breakfast for two. If a room for the night is out of your price range, just head up to the Willard after dinner for champagne and dessert. 

NC Master Choraleโ€™s Valentine Concert

Romance is in the air (literally) when the dulcet tones of the stateโ€™s best choir drift over you and your honey. The NC Master Choraleโ€™s Valentineโ€™s Day concert includes pop and jazz arrangements of hit love songs from Cher, Adele, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, and Lady Gaga. Tickets are $25 each for the concert at 2 p.m. Saturday in the Ballroom of the Transfer Co. Food Hall. 

A V-Day Dinner

Embrace the prix-fixe menu tradition with a lovey-dovey dinner at the Durham Hotel ($60) or Alley Twenty Six ($85). Both restaurants are offering four-course meals with options including local red snapper, angel hair pasta, and tiramisu.
