This Valentine’s Day, Hackettstown has three wonderful indoor activities for you to do in this chilly weather.
Piercing Love
First Place Tattoos, located on Main Street next to Man Skirt Brewing, is having two Valentine’s Day events you can bring your partner to.
The first is their tattoo flash on Friday, February 13th, starting at 1 p.m. It’s first-come, first-served, and there’s plenty of $60 tattoos to choose from. These patterns can be found on their Instagram, @firstplacetattoos.
Their second event is a buy-one, get-one piercing special on Saturday, February 14th, starting at 1 p.m. and ending at 8 p.m. Their buy one get one only applies to the piercing fee and not the jewelry, so keep in mind that you will have to pay for the jewelry.
On Screen Romance
This Valentine’s Day, bring your bestie or your boo to Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas in Mansfield, near the ShopRite. Cinépolis is showing many movies this Valentine’s Day. The most notable being the Wuthering Heights adaptation and two $5 picks: My Bloody Valentine (Friday the 13th only) and The Notebook (Saturday the 14th only).
Find a sneak peek of the new Wuthering Heights adaptation in the Features section of the Cyclone Chronicle.
Dinner For Two
Hackettstown has many wonderful places to have a bite to eat with a partner. There’s Marley’s Gotham Grille, Shokudo Ramen & Sushi, many pizza places, and much more to munch on. Did you know there are multiple places that offer heart-shaped pizza?
More on these meals made with love can be found in the Features section of the Cyclone Chronicle.
