Like many holidays we’ve had over the past year, Valentine’s Day is going to look a little different this year. A fancy dinner out is usually most couples’ go-to idea for a romantic Valentine’s outing but, with capacity limits, temporary closures and more, an exciting dinner date may seem out of reach for 2021. However, there are many eateries right near your 1213 Walnut apartment that are offering their award-winning cuisine for takeout—from sushi to steak and everything in between, you can still recreate a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner right from the comfort of your own home.

If your special someone is looking to eat healthier in 2021 or is a vegetarian, a meal from Vedge Restaurant is guaranteed to impress. Known as one of Philadelphia’s premiere vegetarian restaurants, the spot, just one block from your 1213 Walnut apartment, has limited indoor seating and outdoor heated cabins if you do want to venture out; however, it also offers convenient delivery and pickup options so you can recreate the romance all without leaving home.

While the food at Vedge is on the healthier side, you definitely won’t be finishing your meal still hungry! Since it is the expert on vegetarian dishes, the restaurant serves dishes where veggies are a filling, satisfying main entrée all by themselves. The most popular dishes include cauliflower tacos, eggplant braciole and rutabaga fondue. Since you’re saving so many calories on your dinner, you can definitely spring for dessert, with indulgent options like the triple chocolate cheesecake and pistachio panna cotta.

Romance can seem hard to come by in a pandemic but, with the standout culinary options right near your 1213 Walnut apartment, you can still enjoy a sweet dinner with your special someone, all while resting assured you’re both staying safe.
