Trio will be offering an Aphrodisiac dinner pairing on Saturday and Valentine's Day.There are very few places anywhere as romantic as the Outer Banks, which makes Valentine's Day by the sea even better.
Of course the Outer Banks slows down in the winter, but local restaurants and bars are a long way from dead and a number of them have some great ideas for how to celebrate with someone special.
What's nice is that our local businesses, recognizing that a lot of couples take the weekend as a romantic getaway, have some pre-Valentine's Day ideas that are a great reason to step out for the evening.
This is a partial list, although we think we've got a good sampling of what there is to do; but if there is a special place that has been the regular Valentine's Day rendezvous, call and see what's available.
