Valentine’s Day the Easy Way - For a Weird & Wonderful 2021
2021 feels like it’s just slipping by so quickly - and it’s pretty insane that it’s February - so don’t worry if you didn’t get a chance to figure out Valentine’s Day yet. We’ve got a list of easy, last-minute Valentine’s Date Ideas for Long Beach & Orange Count (OC) lovers.
Here are 6 Delivered-to-Your-Door Last-Minute Valentine’s Date Ideas that you can order as late as 1:30pm on Valentine’s Day, Sunday February 14, 2021.
Don’t worry, there’s something for every budget here 😊
HIGH ($$$$) BUDGET OPTIONS:
Sushi Meets Ceviche with Pineapple Martini and Exotic Zen Flowers for a Fusion of Exciting Flavors
We recommend poke from ROE in Long Beach (at the end of Second Street, near Naples - which should be close enough for quick and safe delivery throughout OC as well), particularly the poke bowl or poke cevichos and Ti-ROE-Misu.
Pair with the Pineapple Martini and/or the LBC (our take on Gin & Juice) from our menu
orders must be received by 12pm Valentine’s Day for same-day delivery - the day before, though, will make you look a little more suave and prepared.
Set the mood with this orchid flower arrangement featuring amethyst gemstones from Roger’s Gardens in Newport
Bar-B-Que, Old Fashioned Pours, and Sweet Country Swoonin’ to Put You in a Sentimental Mood
Lucille’s is a staple for all things BBQ, and has rightfully earned a reputation as one of LBC’s best restuarants. Their platters are great - and we particularly recommend their brisket and baked beans.
Pair with our Ginger Old-Fashioned or Sneaky T 2.0 for a classic American flavor profile
Set the mood with Dolly Parton and bread pudding from Lucille’s for a sweet finish
MEDIUM ($$$) BUDGET OPTIONS:
Tasty Thai for a Low-Key Foodie Date That’s Sure to Leave You Satisfied
2 options here (because we live in a land of abundance when it comes to yummy Thai food):
Thai on Main in Seal Beach offers all of your favorite Thai food, delivered to your door, and we highly recommend their Tom Kha Gai Soup and potstickers - paired with either the Pina (cilantro, lime, pineapple, and vodka) or Cheeky (grapefruit, lemon, elderflower, and vodka)
Long Beach Thai - they offer a pineapple fried rice (be sure to add roast duck - it’s honestly the best) that would pair perfectly with our Pineapple Martini - other favorites here include Pad See Ew and Pineapple Curry
zen-meets-exotic flower arrangement for a calm and connected night in
Stage Your own Spaghetti Kiss Scene with Classic Italian Flavors
Italian Homemade Company makes amazing fresh pasta - and we love their Meat lasagna & Tagliatelle with salsa Parmigiano sauce
Pair this meal with our Drunk in Love or Black Manhattan
Set the mood with Frank Sinatra and a classic pinky-peach roses bouquet from Roger’s Gardens that's sure to impress
SMALL ($$) BUDGET OPTIONS:
Pork Carnitas and Margaritas Are Always a Home Run
Pictured: Food from Dogz with our OG Margarita 🍹
Dogz offers amazing food, right here in Long Beach. The Carnitas Plate for Two and Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings will pair perfectly with our OG Margarita or Flora (Tequila, Carrot, Orange, and Lime).
put on Beuna Vista Social Club for some dancing fun and joyful vibes
Burger and Elote (off the Cob) for An Easy Night In, Southern Hospitality-Style
We’re still blown away that food this good is this inexpensive! Give southern comfort food a chance at romance by ordering takeout from Prime by Shenandoah for you and your sweetie. We’re particularly fond of the Piedmont Burger & Elote off the Cob starter.
Pair with our sweet take on a cranberry-vodka, Socialite or our vanilla chai whiskey drink, Sneaky T 2.0 (nothing says southern quite like an iced tea).
If you haven’t heard Miley Cyrus’s newest album, it’s a good mix of pop and country, and would make for some fun living room dancing!
