Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. It’s that time of the year when you and your significant other have the license to go all gooey without judgment.
February 14th is weeks away, but if you really want an unforgettable date, it’s best to plan ahead. After all, don’t you want the best for you and your special someone?
Fortunately, couples in the South will never run out of date place options. In BF, Parañaque alone, there are tons of restaurants to choose from. Who says all the fun has to stay in the North? No need to take your “bae,” “babe,” or, “sweetie pie” to Makati or The Fort for date night.
Here are some of our favorite picks in BF:
Geeking Out at Puzzles: Board Game Lounge
(Price Range: Php 140 to 250; Php 100 for unlimited games)
