Valentine's Day in Dallas

Looking for an extra special place to take your lady on Valentine's Day? First of all, you're too late. No place worth a damn is going to seat you. Follow my lead on this Valentine's Day. Avoid the generic steakhouse option with the set menus and rushed time slots. Stay in and show off your cooking skills. Every guy should have 1 or 2 go-to meals in his arsenal. If you don't, don't forget to swing by Eatzi's on the way home and get those empty cartons out to the garbage before she arrives! Order a nice, lame romantic comedy and light a candle. You're probably going to get lucky either way, so why fight traffic.

By the way, if you were considering Reunion Tower, I'd like to reach through this screen and slap you. Actually, it is closed for renovations anyway, so you are out of luck.

On September 15, 2007, officials of Hyatt Regency Dallas and Woodbine Development Corporation announced plans for a major renovation of the 50-story Reunion Tower. The $23-million project is being managed by Woodbine and will require the closing of Reunion Tower as of November 16, 2007, with reopening set for fall 2008.
