The modern woman does not have to have a boyfriend to celebrate all things love and chocolate; she simply needs her friends.
Galentine’s Day can easily be one of the happiest days of the year, whether you celebrate before, on, or even after Valentine’s Day.
This year the 14th falls on a Friday (girls weekend anyone?), and Dallas has some lovely places to spend the days with your best friends.
Desert and a Show
Spend Friday night laughing and covered in powdered sugar with dessert and a comedy show. Deep Ellum is home to many hidden gems, but two that are shining brighter every day are Le Bon Temps and Dallas Comedy House.
Grab a warm beignet and then take the short walk to DCH for an improv or sketch show.

Downtown Delights
Saturdays are best spent in the city, and even better when at the original Neiman Marcus.
Start with lunch at The Zodiac and then head downstairs and treat yourself a new pair of shoes, or at least try a fun pair on. And all the cute candy they sell may even be on sale.

Modern Medieval Romance?
Find your knight in shining armor for the night with a visit to Medieval Times. No need to watch your table manners when there is no silverware involved and shouting is encouraged.
Become the Ladies in Waiting you were meant to be and spend the night fawning over the green knight in an overpriced tiara.

SoulCycle and Coffee
Feel cute and caffeinated with a class at Soulcycle and then a cappuccino at a coffee shop.
Dallas is home to many fun and trendy workout spaces, so pick your poison, and then refuel for the day with some caffeine at Magnolias: Sous Le Pont. The bright blue walls at Magnolias will be a welcome escape from the sea of red hearts, and the chill vibes will be the best way to start the day.

Dinner with the Gals
Pastel pink chairs and the beautiful greenery make Paradiso the perfect place to get Galentine’s Day dinner.
Split a pizza or get a whole bowl of pasta for yourself, Paradiso is the cutest place to grab a bit to eat. Get a bottle of Rosé and stay past your welcome with house-made ice cream.
