Valentine's Day Planner: San Diego

Prior to Feb. 14, make an appointment to get a haircut, facial and/or wax that will leave you feeling beautiful and ready for a hot night out. This salon in Ocean Beach has Aveda products, massage chairs, and complimentary wine.

Rather than sit in an expensive restaurant with awkward PDA and/or wedding proposals occurring at nearby tables, get a take-out box of some of your date's favorite sushi rolls and tempura.

Check in downtown for this hotel's Rock `n? Romance package that features a suite upgrade, priority access to the hotel's nightclubs, champagne, and a ?Whipped Cream Bikini? amenity that includes strawberries and whipped cream. This may sound like a teenage boy's fantasy come true, but it's not so bad for adults either.

Begin the night at this romantic French bistro just off Orange Avenue. Located in a historic Victorian house close to the Hotel Del Coronado, the restaurant specializes in seafood, duck, and irresistible desserts such as the warm chocolate souffle. Spring for a bottle of Chardonnay or bring a sentimental bottle of wine ($15 corkage fee).

Stay overnight at this cozy inn, where many of the rooms feature in-room spa tubs, fireplaces, and super-comfy beds.

After a lazy morning, spend the morning wandering around the island on beach cruisers or if you're feeling particularly couple-y, go ahead and rent a tandem. The tourists will think you're adorable.

Start the festivities with some glasses of IPA and a BBQ chicken pizza at this group-friendly spot on Highway 101.

The B-Side Players? Valentine's Day Ball was so popular last year that they're doing it again. Guests are encouraged to wear '70s or '80s era clothes for the party--there will even be a Prom-style photo booth inside.
