By George Hadgelias

It’s that time of the year again, when the day we all love to hate creeps up on us faster than you can say ‘Ferrero Rocher’. We say love to hate because although it might not be cool to admit it, are we really going to say no to a fancy dinner, particularly if it comes with wine and rose petals?

Whether you’re a Valentine’s enthusiast or you prefer to pretend that V Day doesn’t exist, the good news is that Brisbane is stepping up the romance this year. No plans yet? No problem. That’s what we’re hear for. We’re sure we’ve found a way to spend Valentine’s Day for everyone.
