Don’t have a date this Valentine’s Day? Take yourself out in Detroit instead

If you didn’t know that Valentine’s Day is around the corner, here’s your friendly reminder that it is Tuesday.

While the Hallmark holiday is all about you and your significant other, I wanted to plan out a Valentine’s Day you can have to celebrate yourself!

There are many fun things to do in Detroit by yourself. I picked out a dozen of my favorite places I like to check out in the wintertime. If Valentines Day was in the summer, I would have a few more seasonal options that are fun to do solo.
