Are you bored with your Valentine’s Day routine? Sick of sitting through boring dinners?
Not to worry — there’s more to Valentine’s Day than a humdrum dinner for two. This year, you can feast like celebrities, shun the holiday altogether while dining in style or make your partner bark (Sex Bark, that is).

Valentine’s Day? That’s for suckers. So sayeth The Daily Dish in Silver Springs, Maryland, which is offering an “anti-Valentine’s Day Menu” on Feb. 14. Revel in your singledom (or disdain of what many consider to be a “made-up” holiday) while chowing down on stinky faves like olives and pickled garlic, anchovy butter crostini and blue cheese dip with garlic pita. You can wash that all down with a Raging Bitch beer from Flying Dog Brewery. See their complete menu here.
