La Medusa

love love love

Celebrating love is always a good thing. Here’s how we’re doing it…

Take your honey(s) to Persephone, the new little sister of La Medusa in Columbia City. Sip an aperitivo while enjoying Sicilian nibbles — that’s amore!

Let Mother Nature be your valentine. Need inspiration? The Northwest Flower & Garden show (February 9 - 13th) has it all, from spectacular demonstration gardens, expert-led workshops, and a plethora of all things garden vendors. More? Seattle Tilth has a wide array of workshops that will have you growing your own food in no time . City People’s Garden Store offers inexpensive garden tool sharpening (drop off before February 22nd) as well as houseplant consultations and repotting services. While you’re there, treat yourself to some primroses and pansies, these early spring bloomers are bursting with cheer.

Are oysters natural aphrodisiacs? Conduct your own study with a farm sampler from Hama Hama.

Chocolate? Order your Meg Maggie Margaret Chocolates online for pick up at Southpaw Pizza Tuesday - Saturday nights. Wanna go big? Order the Valentine’s dinner at Lark and they’ll throw in a box of MMM chocolates and some bubbly to boot!

A little sparkle - does your closet need some love? Clementines in Pioneer Square has always been a hot spot for unique shoes and clothes, but be sure to go downstairs for vintage treasures. After a shop, pop next door to London Plane for a Persian love cake or takeaway bouquet.

Love is in the air. January and February is mating season for the great-horned owls. Listen for males serenading the ladies and watch for possible sightings on an evening walk in the woods, que romantico.
