Single this Valentine’s Day? Here’s how you can make the most of it
Restaurants and eateries across the Capital are offering deals and discounts for those who’d love to go out on Sunday to celebrate their singledom.
Guess what? You don’t need to bother being struck by the Cupid’s arrow on Valentine’s Day. Restaurants and eateries across the Capital are offering deals and discounts for those who’d love to go out on Sunday to celebrate their singledom.
For restaurateur Umang Tewari, while couples make up most of the crowd on V-day, catering to singles is also important.
“For many who come in single, it’s to celebrate being out of a relationship rather than being in one. There’s no need to be upset if one is without a partner,” he says.

“Valentine’s Day is not to glorify romance but to celebrate love in general. So for singles, spending the day loving and treating themselves makes perfect sense,” says Ashish Chakraborty, director, House of Commons in CP, that is offering a 20% discount on the a la carte bill for singles.

“I’d rather be at home and celebrate on my couch with a glass of wine then step out to see cheesy couples,” says Shivam Bhatia, 24, while Anisha Malik, 22, is all for it. “Why not? I would love to go out for a few free drinks, whether it’s Valentine’s Day or not!”
