Top Valentine's Day Picks

Looking for a restaurant to enjoy a romantic dinner with your Valentine? Do you need a florist? Northeast Cobb Patch recommends local businesses that can help make your Valentine's Day special.

Across the United States and around the world, loved ones exchange candy, flowers and gifts on Feb. 14 in memory of St. Valentine. His life remains a mystery, but we know that Valentine existed because archaeologists have unearthed a Roman catacomb and an ancient church dedicated to him. In 496 AD Pope Gelasius proclaimed Feb. 14 as a celebration in honor of his martyrdom.

Starry-eyed romantics and cynics alike celebrate the centuries-old holiday, and Northeast Cobb Patch has your best bets.
