If you're reading this, you probably forgot to plan something for Valentine's Day (no judgment here), which probably means you're in a state of panic, which probably means you're considering going with plastic-wrapped flowers from the supermarket and whatever box of chocolates is still on the shelf, and calling it a night.

It's either that or shell out a hundred bucks or so for a dozen long-stemmed roses.

Don't. Just don't.

Anything would be better than that, but these six events are even better than just better — they're actually worth your time.

Whether you like to get busy vampire-style (TMI, right?), or whether jazz and a good meal is more your speed, there's a party for every twosome looking to do the day of love right.
