St. Valentine’s Day is one of the classic days to enjoy the North End restaurants, many of which offer special menus for the occasion. This year, February 14, 2010 is a Sunday that also falls on Presidents’ Day weekend so it will extend the holiday from Friday through Monday. I don’t sell advertising on this website, but here are a few mentions that have come my way. Do you know of a Valentine’s Day special or event worth sharing? Add it in the comment section at the end of this post.
