Valentine's Day: How to Pick the Perfect Date Venue
Based on an analysis of thousands of restaurant and bar recommendations processed by Wist (www.getwist.com) -- a fun new app that gives you personalized food and drink recommendations for any occasion -- dating venue expert and Wist CEO Aigerim Shorman has come up with five action steps you can take to find the perfect Valentine's Day venue.
STEP 1: SEARCH WITHIN A GENRE

Does your honey love to visit fancy places, or prefer more laid back spots? It's too overwhelming to search for both so pick one type and stick to it.
STEP 2: GIVE THE NIGHT A THEME

Instead of unrelated venues and gifts, give the night a theme (like "Hot Latin Salsa" or "Paris in ). Coordinate restaurants, bars, activities, and gifts around this theme.
STEP 3: GET SENTIMENTAL

If you've shared a long history together, re-create past memorable moments with a new spin -- or if you're new lovebirds, prepare a thoughtful and sweet reason WHY you picked your chosen place.
STEP 4: CHECK IN TO CHECK OUT THE DETAILS

Don't just show up at a restaurant or bar without specific food or drink recommendations. Check out online and mobile reviews first to get specific suggestions of what to order for the best experience.
STEP 5: HAVE A PLAN B

Just in case things don't work out as you had in mind at your top choice, have a couple of secondary locations in mind if you need a quick change of plans.
