Table It

These Tables + Valentine’s Day = Well Played

Expectations. They have them. You need to exceed them. And since you’ve only got one shot to do this right, these very specific, very Valentine’s Night–appropriate tables strewn about town should help with your shooting. Cupid reference.

Mandela Room Table, 10 Degrees South

Mandela Room Table, 10 Degrees South

You Require: Privacy, but not too much privacy. Maybe a fire. Maybe a giant mural of Nelson Mandela.
You’ll Receive: A table in front of a double-sided fireplace in a private glass-enclosed room. Nice for those who want to warm up. And want the people on the other side to warm up, too.

Table #10, Park 75

Table #10, Park 75

You Require: A nice quiet dinner/access to a hotel room.
You’ll Receive: This cozy table tucked away in a corner, away from the rest of the restaurant. Easy walk to the elevators. To your room. To your bed. Happy Valentine’s Day.

The Library Table, Polaris

The Library Table, Polaris

You Require: Panoramic views of the city. And would it kill you to get some books...
You’ll Receive: Two lounge chairs and a circular glass table. Books behind you, drinks in front and a rotating view of the city to your side. Perfect for the well read, thirsty and not-from-here-y.

Polaris, 265 Peachtree St NE, 404-460-6425

Table #72, St. Cecilia

Table #72, St. Cecilia

You Require: A secluded space away from the action, with the ability to view it all.
You’ll Receive: Your own little slice of the place that’s surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass and separated from everything by a large marble pillar. “What happens behind the pillar” and all that.

A Pool Table at Northside Tavern

A Pool Table at Northside Tavern

You Require: Beer, live music and dancing with strangers much older than yourselves.
You’ll Receive: Exactly what you signed up for when you decided to take a fellow anti-February-14-leaning date to the Northside Tavern on Valentine’s Day. Bonus: the band will be playing bluesy love songs all night. Power move.
