VALENTINE’S PARTIES

CHEMISTRY: IGNITE A LOVE REACTION @ 7 BAR & GRILL

Cupid’s mad mistresses Danielle and Sir Sabrina have studied the periodic table of love and found that chocolate-covered strawberries, boozy beverages and hundreds of lovely lezzies have exactly the right pH for a truly fantastic Valentine’s Day Eve. On Feb. 13 Try Love Potion Number 9 or Chocolate Berry Martinis while you drop it to DJ Stacy’s sick beats. If you believe every holiday should involve winged go-go girls and kissing booths – and we do – this is where to be. Bill Nye would be proud.

Remember to fluff up your funbags first and enter the best cleavage contest!
