 As the first Hallmark holiday of the year brings red hearts and chocolates to pharmacies and  
 restaurants citywide, you might find yourself asking, “What should I do for Valentine’s Day?”  
 That’s right — it’s time to emerge from our January hibernation and hit the town.  
 Whether you have a special someone in your life, a dear group of friends, or you just really  
 need some quality me-time, we have a plan for you. From X-rated storytime to aerial yoga,  
 make this Valentine’s one to remember.  
 You and Your S.O.
