Ah, Valentine’s Day. Flowers, hearts, candies, all that gushy romantic stuff that ladies love, fellas have to endure and single people detest. I’m going to make at least one part of your evening on Tuesday, Feb. 14 easy: dinner. I called restaurants in Collingswood and Haddonfield and got the scoop on what specials they’re offering to celebrate everybody’s favorite Hallmark holiday.
(Some people I spoke to seemed unsure of certain details regarding their specials. Call and make sure they’re offering what you’re looking for before making reservations.)

Hey, a group of us in Ocean City are pushing a BYOB Initiative to allow the voters to decide whether our restaurants should allow BYOB. Many people are trying to argue that it will ruin the town and that we will have drunks walking the streets. I would like the input of some of you folks on what pluses and minuses you see as a result of allowing BYOB. Thanks

@Salt E Water... A BYOB initiative isn't going to "ruin" Ocean City for a number of reasons. First of all, Ocean City is a dry town, but it it's perfectly legal for residents to bring liquor into the city and drink as much as they want in their homes. BYOB restaurants won't be the first time alcohol is introduced to the city. Furthermore, the etiquette of a BYOB is to bring small amount of alcohol to the restaurant relative to the amount of people eating. For instance, a bottle of wine between two people, a six pack per person, etc. There is not a tendency to get blacked out drunk while enjoying a nice dinner in public. I understand the hesitation in Ocean City turning into a future Jersey Shore destination, but introducing BYOBs is not a step in that direction. If anything, allowing BYOBs will add to the charm of Ocean City's dining scene, and will encourage more chefs and restaurateurs to seek out Ocean City as a new dining destination. Until actual bars and pubs are opened, the drunks will stay away. Email me to continue this discussion at davevaliante@gmail.com
