Whether your Valentine’s Day plans include a movie night with the girls, an outing with your partner or a first date (daring, but exciting!) your minds may be whirling with ideas – dinner reservations, movie times, and of course, heart-shaped boxes of chocolates. Instead of letting you collegiettes sweat the details of the evening, Her Campus UConn wants to take the stress off of the night and provide you with some ideas for the big V-day, or any date night on and around the Storrs campus! Here are our top choices for locations and ideas:
“Willibrew in Willimantic. The old post office thing is really romantic & the food is awesome” – Brittany Barnes
“The Bidwell Tavern hands down is the best date spot near Storrs. Its 10 minutes up 195 in Coventry and has amazing wings and burgers. The tavern has an antique feel, so it’s not too fancy, but a great spot for dates!” – Victoria De Rosa
“The Benton, I would say. Its super romantic and I love the area behind the museum with the waterfall. It’s a really cute spot.” – Jennifer Birchwale
”Mansfield Hollow Park- it’s so pretty and it takes 13 minutes to get there!

“Picnic on Horsebarn Hill.” – Caitlin Taylor
Along with these great ideas, you can also plan an evening of skating at the Ice Rink, a trip to the Dairy Bar, or dinner at the True Blue Tavern inside of the Nathan Hale Inn. Stop daydreaming of that perfect Valentine’s Day date, and start planning!
