In addition to dining at a romantic restaurant on TripAdvisor's list, there are plenty of things you and your love can do on Valentine's Day. It just takes a little creative thinking, which I've already done for you.

Here's what I've come up with. After enjoying a delicious meal, you could see a comedy show, spend a night at a hotel, or go dancing somewhere in the city. You could put on your favorite music and records at home, and snuggle up in bed. My personal favorite, though, is the planetarium — for a night of romance under the stars. After all, is there anything quite as romantic as staring at constellations and realizing that the universe brought you to this person for a reason? Well, maybe one of these restaurants, but you get the point.
