connaticValentine's day will always feel somewhat alien to me - I grew up in Holland, where it is a relatively recent and imported custom, mostly pushed by the gift-card industry.
Heidi and I have two anniversaries - our first date and the wedding day. Our first date was on Feb 11, so we perform the Valentine's day rituals then. As it is three days before Valentina's Day, it's easy to get reservations in good restaurants; though my friend Nat would say, three days later would be better as you can get a discount on the chocolates. Ah well.
We ended up going to Picholine, which was excellent as usual. I think the food and service is better than the Gramercy Tavern, priced very much the same, but it is much easier to get a reservation - a win all around.
It's hard to believe this was the fifth anniversary of our first date. Time flies when you're having fun.
