Dubai: If you think cupid is stupid or you roll your eyes at roses and cringe at the chocolate-coated overload of Valentine’s trophies, then restaurants and hotels around town might have something for you.
Some venues in Dubai are organising the “anti-Valentine’s day” dinners and entertainment targeting single people, those who hate Valentine’s day or couples who just think the occasion is too romantic or overpriced, they say.
“There’s definitely a gap in the market for it,” said Sarah Norfolk, a marketing consultant at Soul Communications.
The Gramercy at DIFC is holding an “I Hate Valentine’s Day” evening on February 14 for those sick of hearts and roses.
The evening includes an Anti Valentine’s Day Darts game and a set menu with dishes like the “Torn hearts” grilled artichoke hearts salad, “Two-faced sea bass,” “Don’t give a toss pasta,” “Stabbed in the back” fruit skewers and “Hit the road Jack” drinks.
Antoinette Breedt, general manager of the Gramercy, said the evening is about singles or couples who dislike Valentine’s day having the opportunity to go out and have fun.

Very interesting blog. The Ferris wheel project should prove interesting. The setting is spectacular.
Nice blog work. I came across your blog while “blog surfing” using the Next Blog button on the Nav Bar located at the top of my blogger.com site. I frequently just travel around looking for other blogs which exist on the Internet, and the various, creative ways in which people express themselves. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes for the New Year.
