Celebrate Being Single On Valentine's Day In Brooklyn
While those poor dating suckers swill flat champagne, you'll be throwing axes, dancing until dawn or, better yet, hanging out with a cat.
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK — One of the many amazing things about being single is that while your friends will be obligated to eat over-priced, over-cooked steak in cramped, steamy restaurants on Valentine's Day, you know what you have to do?
Whatever you want.
Why not take tomorrow to enjoy everything you love about your single life, be it hooking up with random strangers or connecting more deeply with your inner cat lady (she's pretty great.) Here are just a few ways to celebrate yet another Valentine's Day that you're not stuck in a dead-end relationship with a huge pain-in-the-say what now?
