Somewhere between the end of football season and Mardi Gras, usually there’s Valentine’s Day. Still, more often than not, it gets overlooked because of Carnival.
Here’s a list of places you can take your special someone for a romantic night on the town:
Bacchanal Wine
Nested in the Marigny, this “wine laboratory” offers a store where you can buy a bottle of your favorite wine, grab a glass, and pop it open right there. The courtyard is a great place to hear live music and there’s seating upstairs to share a the plates available from the kitchen.
City Park
City Park is full of romantic spots. From the carousel gardens, putt putt golf, Big Lake, and the porch swings across from Storyland you can always find gorgeous scenery to sit and enjoy a moment with bae.
Fogo De Chao
This date night hotspot is definitely one you want to plan for, with reservations and money set aside. It’s definitely not the price range of a spontaneous dinner, but who doesn’t want to splurge on Valentine’s Day? And if you dine at Fogo during Valentine’s Day weekend, you’ll get a free dining card for a meal on your next visit.
Monkey Board

One of the hottest rooftop bars in the city, Monkey Board at the Troubadour Hotel serves up drinks and food. You can start your evening here with Happy Hour specials from 4-6 p.m.
Lake Pontchartrain Cruises
We’ve all gone to the lake to spend a little quality time with someone, but Lake Pontchartrain Cruises offers a different view with excursions on a 38-foot Sea Ray Sundancer yacht. Click here for more information.
