Patch Picks: Valentine's Day Ideas

• The Oregon Grille: Specializing in prime dry-aged steak and other fine grilled courses, this romantic restaurant is also set in the heart of Maryland's beautiful horse country. 
• The Milton Inn: This fine dining establishment will be featuring a special price-fixed Valentine's Day menu which includes filet mignon topped with a jumbo lump crab cake, New Zealand lamb and long stem chocolate dipped strawberries.
• Papa Johns: Rather spend a cozy night in with your sweetheart? Call the Cockeysville Papa Johns for a special deal featuring a heart shaped one topping thin crust pizza and a Cinapple dessert. 
• Basignani Vineyards: Visit the "Piedmont" of Maryland for a wine tasting and a tour of the winemaking facility. Located north of Hunt Valley, Basignani is also a prime location for a scenic picnic.    
• National Aquarium Baltimore: If you're looking to avoid crowded restaurants, check out "Date Night" at the aquarium and enjoy appetizers and drinks while marveling at over 16,000 underwater creatures.
