A Different Kind Of Valentine’s Day in 2020

Posted on February 11, 2020February 13, 2020

Valentine’s Day isn’t what it use to be, it’s become way over commercialized and advertised as “Men buying women; cards, candy, flowers & fondue”. Sadly, in doing so it’s unfairly treating today’s modern woman like a 1960’s housewife. Aaaaand…. We’re not about that at all, so we’ve selected a few ways for today’s modern woman to treat her lovey to a few fun things that he may not be expecting this Valentine’s Day!


Heart Shaped Pizza From Benny’s

What guy doesn’t love pizza? I’m sure there’s a soy boy out there somewhere that doesn’t but that’s not the point. The point is, pizza is a WIN/WIN, either your guy loves it, or you get the whole thing! So either way, make this V-day special with a 28″ heart shaped pizza from Benny Capitale’s on Fayetteville street in Downtown Raleigh. Benny’s has great NY style pizza, so if that’s your thing go ahead and order your guy a slice of love!

For questions email: bennycapitales@gmail.com


Go Shooting @ Triangle Shooting Academy

Triangle Shooting Academy is running a couples event that includes 2 for 1 shooting when sharing a lane, his & hers targets & special gifts for the first few through the door.

The event starts at 5pm and the last shooters go on at 730pm.

For questions email: myexperience@triangleshootingacademy.com


Axe Throwing @ The Crazy Axe

Encourage your man to be a more manly man, take him to a place where he can tap into his primal side by throwing axes and drinking beers (or wine if your guy’s a bit uppity).

V-day hours are 5-10pm.

For questions email: info@thecrazyaxe.com


In summary, show your guy that you’re not just some simple lady from yesteryear that is satisfied by flowers and candy, and show him that you’re strong, confident, and sometimes he’s your baby and you want to spoil him.

AAAANNNNNDDDD!!!!!! Don’t forget to subscribe to Explore Raleigh by texting RALEIGH to 72727 to get all our event recommendations and exclusive offers to local venues. Happy V-Day!!!
