It’s the season for love and Naples offers a little something for everyone - not just at Valentine’s Day, but year round.
Still, with matters of the heart in mind, here are a few suggestions to indulge in your favorite things this week!
If you love cars….head to Cars on Fifth this Saturday! Sponsored by the Ferrari Club of America, donations help Naples’ St. Matthews House. Browse some of the finest collectors’ cars in the nation.
If you love chocolate….there’s no place like Norman Love! Whether you choose a single truffle for yourself or select an entire box, you’ll know you have something very special in hand. (Even the box is a delight!)
If you love to cook…try a couples cooking class at The Local. Create delicious dishes using locally grown produce, then enjoy lunch and a glass of wine. The class begins at 10 am so be sure to reserve your space!
If you love a little pampering…check out the Woodhouse Day Spa in Naples Plaza. A massage or spa day is the perfect indulgence for your sweetheart…or for yourself!
If you love the great outdoors…the choices are endless, but try the Naples Botanical Gardens for pure beauty, or the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary for Florida’s natural environment at its finest.
If you love simple pleasures…pick up a pizza to go at Cosmos and head over to Lowdermilk Park. Munch on a slice as the sun goes down. Great food and a sunset like no other makes for a combination that can’t be beat.
If you love people watching…enjoy the morning at the Third Street South Farmers’ Market, then head over to the Naples Pier. It’s a Saturday tradition in Naples - be sure to pick up some fresh guacamole while you’re there, and sip a coffee from Tony’s. Watch the fishermen reel in their catch, and keep an eye out for dolphins.
If you love breakfast…try a local favorite. Skillets has locations all over town, and Toast has a new location on Tamiami Trail, in the Outback shopping center.
If you love shopping…enjoy your day browsing at Waterside Shops or Fifth Avenue South’s boutiques. Who knows? The perfect gift could be waiting just for you!
If you love nightlife…you’ll want to check out the Blue Martini in The Mercato.
If you love the blues…jump at the chance to hear Aaron Neville perform at Artis Naples on February 13. As of this writing, tickets are still available so be sure to get yours!
If you love the classics…spend Valentines evening at Artis Naples with the Naples Philharmonic Orchestra!
Whatever you love - and whoever you love - there’s plenty to love this time of year in Naples!
