Discover the Perfect "Me Day" Itinerary in Amarillo

Not everybody is in the lovey-dovey stage in Amarillo. You may be perpetually single, like me. You may have just gotten out of a relationship and not be ready to face the day. Valentine's Day isn't for everyone, but we can still have fun on the day.

Yes, there will be couples all around sharing that Valentine's love, but luckily, the day falls on the weekend, so that you won't be surrounded on that day with deliveries and over-the-top love expressions. That would have all happened the day before.

Fueling Up: The Best Coffee Spots to Start Your "Me Day"

We can go out and find fun in Amarillo on Valentine's Day and take the day back as our own. Make it a total "you" day. I mean, why not? Start the day with a strong cup of coffee from Palace or Roasters. You can't start your day without caffeine.

Solo Adventures in Palo Duro Canyon

Then head to Palo Duro Canyon. Our weather has been so unseasonably warm that it could be the perfect day for a hike. You can go solo or phone a friend for some fun. After a hike, you need a cold drink.

Refreshing Drinks and Local Brews for One

Depending on your drink choice, you can head to HTeaO for a refreshing coconut tea or maybe grab something stronger from Old Tascosa Brewery. By now, you have done a lot to help you forget that you are not celebrating the 14th. You are celebrating being just you.

Casual Dining: Where to Eat Without the Valentine’s Pressure

There is still plenty of the day left. You need dinner, right? There are plenty of places to go and not feel out-of-place because you are not in a couple. I mean, you can be celebrating Galentine's or just grab a bite to eat alone.

There are a lot of local places that would love to have you. Valentine's Day is crowded at the romantic spots, but it's a perfect night to hit your favorite casual restaurant. We have plenty to support. You can grab a local favorite burger at Golden Light. Maybe head over to Beef O'Brady's for a Cuban sandwich. You can't go wrong.

If you want to stay home and away from everything love-related, you can always order delivery and binge your favorite show. There is nothing more peaceful than a night with a bottle of wine and your comfy pajamas. That sounds heavenly.

The Real Holiday: Post-Valentine’s Chocolate Sales

Just don't forget that the very next day is the day to really celebrate. That is when all of the chocolate will be half off. What could be better? You may not be celebrating in a conventional way, but there are plenty of good times to be had in Amarillo without being part of a couple.
