Another Valentine’s Day is here. For the true lovers out there, it’s time to take a tour with your favorite person and shower them with love. For the rest of us, we’ll be spending Valentine’s day like any other Tuesday night: chasing down an Extreme Home Makeover marathon with a bottle of lonely wine.

If this isn’t your idea of a hell-of-a good time, let Urbandig help you forget your loneliness, kickstart your heart or find the next Mr./Mrs. Right or Wrong. Follow along for our cross-city V-Day Guide for the Hopeless. Remember to download the Urbandig app to find these guides and experience your city like a true local.

LA

LA’s Walk of Shame guide takes your 1-in-a-million chances of scoring, and brings your odds up to 102%. Curator, Lucas Dick checks in to the Belmont Cafe, Birds, and more. Download the app to experience this hook-up guide in full.

SF

In December, we featured San Fran’s Heartbreaker guide to help lost souls deal with their breakups. It’s only appropriate that we give Amanda’s guide another shout out during the most romantic time of the year. 

Take yourself from the Redwood Room, to the Apple Store, and Zeitgeist. Let your friends spend their hard earned cash on flowers and chocolates, while you deck out your iPhone with a cover made of solid gold.

NYC

You’re down and wishing you had someone to share the night with. Everyone has been there, but you know what the next best thing is? Getting made fun of. The Chuckle Huts Urbandig guide by NYC curator, Mark Malkoff is a great way to get out there, have a good laugh, and forget everything else.

Portland

You’ve just finished watching the latest episode of Portlandia and want to put a bird on it. Instead of turning your apartment into an aviary that real birds are scared of, enter Porkland: your guide to finding romance in the pork you love. Don’t worry about getting greasy over this V-Day excursion, it’s all about you.

Vancouver

Nothing says lonely like brown baggin it. This Valentines day, take a step out of the daily grind, head to the nearest liquor store, snag an OE, and tell them you’ll take paper, not plastic.
 Vancouver’s Brown Bag Special guide will take you down the best of the worst alleys in Vancity. User discretion is advised.

Washington

Spending Valentines Day alone was probably not on your New Years Resolutions list, but if you’re eating alone you might as well save some cash. Happiest Hour is one of Washighton curator, Kimberly Van’s masterpieces. She has the in to some of the most amazing local spots that’ll stretch your dollar further than you ever thought possible.  

Austin

It’s true that laughter is the best medicine. Urbandig’s Austin curator, Ryan Criswell, has a cabinet full of the stuff. Take her Laugh Track guide to get your laugh on this Valentine’s day.

The guide will surely get you out of that funk. Be sure to cruise through the Urbandig app before you head out. It’s full of great tips on when/where to reserve seats and which places offer comedy classes.

Guest Post written by the amazingly talented, copywriting Panda, Amber Adrian.  

All it takes to become an expert in a city’s hangover food is ten years of residence and a short but intense period of questionable life choices where you dance near tables after ridiculous flaming marshmallow drinks at Bigfoot Lounge (don’t do that) and yell about Tina Turner on street corners after dancing near different tables (don’t do that either). Next morning, drag your vodka-mummified self to the nearest plate of eggs benedict and stop texting your friends when they perkily proclaim to be suffering no ill-effects from the night before. You’re pretty sure they’re lying, but you can’t take that chance. 

How To Conquer Friday Night Before Sailing Valiantly Into the Saturday Morning Hangover. All Involving Booze Because, Let’s Face It, That’s What We Want Out of a Friday Night.

Head to Noc Noc: Ask the bartender what Eugene, the purple fish behind the bar, recommends. No guarantees the fish is actually named Eugene or if his recommendations are any good, but it’s an entertaining conversation. Noc Noc’s decor rocks a look that can best be described as the quirky lovechild of Aladdin’s lamp and a downed World War II fighter plane. It’s a cozy nook with plenty of slack-jawed aliens and random purple fish distractions, should your date be late or nonexistent.

Watch flexing muscles at the ballet: Seriously. Stuff a sigg bottle full of wine in your purse and gaze at stunning artistry. Besides, everyone downs wine at intermission. You’re just inhaling yours with a charming economy and environmentally-sound flair. A worthy drinking foe this weekend is Alonzo King’s Lines, a company with some serious moves. Pro tip: the male dancers often wear costumes that are noticeably lacking in shirts. You’re welcome. (Sorry, men. It’s still fun.) 

Eat fried alligator at Boxing Room: My steel magnolia friend claims it’s better than any she ever ate in the South. But don’t try to smuggle your wine in via thermos. Buy it there. Your mama raised you right. 

Order Pisco Punch at Comstock Saloon: Sometimes you really need a fancy cocktail with more ingredients than your grandma’s lasagna. Comstock Saloon wins for best ceiling fans, best random music, best mustaches, best bartenders, and best bartenders sporting mustaches. 

Voila! Friday night is yours and Urbandig’s hangover guide is your new best friend, especially when all those svelte but high-tolerance wenches abandon you and your pounding head. 

Amber Adrian did a lot of drinking at one time, and all those facts are still stored in the bourbon-infused corners of her brain. You can read more about her adventures on her blog and follow her on Twitter.
