Treats
Skate on the Rideau Canal with a loved one
There is no need to leave The ByWard Market when searching for the perfect Valentine’s gift.
Lush is having a “PS I love you” party on February 12th, Victoire is offering 20% from February 1st to 14th with this coupon, and Argosy books has a half off sale from February 11th to 14th.
Take a staycation at the ByWard Blue Inn, offering 20% off a room on February 13th or 14th. A hot chocolate body wrap from Daya Spa is the perfect way to heat things up before your stay. Also enjoy the beauty and bustle of The ByWard Market by walking through the courtyards and nearby parks. Finally, cool off by taking a skate on the canal – easily accessible beside the Rideau Centre, and a lovely walk from the locks.
Fun
If the dinner options are not the fun night you and your friends are looking for, check out the Honest Lawyer. With a bachelor and bachelorette auction, and proceeds from $19 buckets of Molson going to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, this Heartbreak Hotel Party may be just what you are looking for.
Finally, Empire Theatres in the Rideau Centre will have the new romantic film “The Vow”, and certainly a more platonic film or two to see.
