“I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me” – Tony Bennett

San Francisco can be accused of many things, but unromantic is NOT one of them. Grab your sweetie (or your bestie) and enjoy a whirlwind of fun, romantic and cheap happenings all around the city. Lovebirds can stroll the city hills, bask in the glory of thousands of tulips, hop on your bike for a pairs alleycat race, marvel at the sweetly pink magnolias at peak bloom, or surprise your significant other with a free puppy.

Looking for love? Try your luck at speed dating, stroke your chin at an erotic art show, meet your soulmate at the Nude Parade, and if all else fails you can adopt a free kitten.

Angry at the ex? Get your rage out by pummeling others with a pillow at the renegade annual Valentine’s Pillow Fight. Hey, think of it as free therapy.
