Central Market Chocolate Festival

Figured we'd catch your eye with that chocolate biz – because you know how the C.M. stages a festival right, showcasing so many possibilities for gustatory pleasure no matter the theme – but we'll also note that, for the first time ever, Central Market is offering online ordering for a variety of dinner-for-two entrées. Yes, just in time for Valentine's Day, as if to specifically abet your Netflix-and-chill proclivities, now you can order ready-to-nom dinners of beef tenderloin, oven-roasted lobster tail, or chicken piccata, and pick 'em up the day of.

Chocolate festival through Feb. 14

Never Too Soon for Valentine’s Cocktails

The DK Maria’s crew of romancers is starting early with this lovey-dovey biz, presenting an array of crush-worthy cocktails starting on Feb. 1 and going until Cupid’s too damn wasted to get his arrow up anymore. Our best bet of the whole boozy bunch: the Chocolate-Covered Strawberry, made with 360 double-chocolate vodka, Baileys Irish Cream, and strawberry puree.

Through Feb. 14

Taco Bronco: Grand Opening Weekend

“What, just another taco truck?” Shut your mouth, child! This new epicenter of tacolicious excellence is 1) powered by Micklethwait Craft Meats, whence comes all manner of tasty brisket and more for stuffing those tortillas with, and 2) set in the expansive, dog-friendly backyard of craft-beer bastion Batch, where you can always find just the right brew to accompany your scrumptious vittles. Do we even have to note how sweet it is that this spot’s opening on the weekend of that Superb Owl? Whether you need to celebrate with some expertly charred flesh or cry into a frosty mug of suds, here’s where your belly will do nothing but win.
