3 – Break Up Bar LA
Description:
Not everybody loves cupid, so if you are one of those who hates Valentine’s Day, then head over the Break Up Bar in LA. This pop up is opened just for you and everyone else who prefers to stay cleared of Cupid’s bow arrow.
Indulge yourself in this anti-valentine’s day celebration with champagne, punches, wine based cocktails. Also, there will be cake, dessert fondues, cookie towers and many other sweets.
Enjoy a 10 foot projection screen showing classic break up movies. Probably the most popular part though is the Wall of Broken Relationships with notes left for ex-lovers. You can read some really funny ones and maybe even leave one yourself for future visitors to enjoy.
Reservation is encouraged as this usually sells out the closer we get to Valentines Day. Oh and your ticket includes a complementary cocktail!

4 – Super Bowl Celebrations
Description:
If you cant snag tickets to the Super Bowl on February 13th at Sofi (and who can at those prices!) then the next best thing is to party nearby as the excitement takes over Los Angeles. Yup our home team Rams will be representing us in the big game so you can expect the excitement level to be a 10+ all over the city.
One of our picks to celebrate the Super Bowl in a big way this year is with Music Fest at LA Live. From February 10 to 12 artists including Green day, Miley Cyrus, Gwen Stefani and many others will be performing to celebrate the Super Bowl LVI. You can get tickets here.
If you cant attend the big game the next best thing might be the Super Bowl experience at the LA Convention Center! Want to get some autographs from your favorite players? You’ll have an opportunity to do so on February 5th. 6th. 10th and 12th at this Convention celebrating the Super Bowl and the NFL.
This event is presented by Lowes and tickets cost only $12, kids under 12 are free. You can snag your tickets here.
Of course bars and restaurants all over Los Angeles will be showing the big game but one interesting spot to watch is at Angels City Market. The weekly community market which happens every Sunday decided that instead of trying to compete with the Super Bowl just show it instead!
The day of the big game they are inviting Angelinos to go grab some tacos, enjoy some drink specials and watch the game while shopping before hand with more than 60 vendors.

5 – Valentines Day Dinner
Description:
February 14th is almost here and you want to take your special someone somewhere memorable of course. We recommend snagging reservations for Valentines day (if you can) at one of the hot new restaurants that have just opened!
Our first recommendation is La Boucherie on top of Intercontinental Hotel. This elegant American steak house and seafood restaurant has reopen and just in time for Valentines day. This spot offers a sky high dinner experience with epic views of DTLA and beyond and it features great cocktails.
Another great choice to surprise your date is Mother Wolf LA. This is a new Italian restaurant is located inside a historic building in Hollywood and it features great ambiance, and of course it offers up delicious Italian flavors. It is very new to the scene but getting rave reviews already and would be a special place to spend the day of romance.
We also recommend Belles Beach House as a great date because of its awesome outdoor dining and views. Its a retro tiki bar with a delicious menu featuring incredibly tasty Hawaiian inspired dishes.
Surprise your date with dinner at Tatel Beverly Hills. This remarkable restaurant brings Spanish traditional Mediterranean flavors from Madrid and Ibiza. You won’t be disappointed celebrating Valentine’s day here with their delicious food, cocktails and live music.
