You’re in luck, you’re in love. But, your flame may dim if you don’t pull an Ace out of your sleeve this Valentine’s Day. Don’t overthink it. Keep it classic. Just do drinks and dinner, and leave the evening open for … whatever comes next.
We might not know what the end of the night entails for you but we do know the beginning should start with a run to Have A Heart Belltown. Valentine’s Day without weed is like peanut butter without jelly. Hard to swallow.
Run–don’t walk—to the best little pot shop in the Belltown and South Lake Union areas of Seattle. Get stoked! If you’re looking for strains that stoke the fires and have been known to stimulate romantic interludes, the following strains should come from their own category: Cupid’s Cannabis. They are: AK-47, Banana Kush, Candy Kush, Cherry Pie, El Fuego, Electric Lemon, Easy Rider, Jesus OG, Rascal Berries, and Suzy Q.
If you’re a multi-tasker, you can focus on getting the hooch and booking reservations downtown now to your special Valentine’s Day feast, made possible by Open Table. The following restaurants currently have room — but hurry — they’re filling up fast. Best to reserve, STAT!
