Patch Picks: Looking for a Romantic Valentine's Day Dinner?

La Tasca: This Spanis Tapas restaurant in Old Town Alexandria is perfect for a lovely night out with a date. We recommend getting two dishes and a pitcher of sangria - if that's your thing, of course - and splitting the meals. 

: Would you and your date like to share a historic evening together on Monday? The Mount Vernon Inn is still taking reservations and will have a special a la carte menu. 

: Monday is supposed to be a wonderful 55 degrees, so you and your Valentine can share a walk on one of Huntley Meadows Park's beautiful trails.
