If you've waited until the last minute to buy any Valentine gifts, we have a few great ideas. Chick-fil-A  (on College Ave. in Fayetteville) has their very own valentines.  You can buy them in packs of 10 and each one gets your valentine a free kids size Icedream.   In place of the traditional chocolates, you might try Chuck's Cake Shoppe or Shelby Lynn's Cake Shoppe.  They are sure to win someone's heart and cater to their sweet tooth!

Geaux New Orleans :: Mardi Gras is just around the corner, but a trip to the Big Easy may not be feasible.  Luckily, we have Meaux Dad's, pronounced mo dad's, to help bring New Orleans right here to Northwest Arkansas.  Meaux Dad's just recently opened and has all of your traditional Cajun foods with it's own added flair.  The food is good and the prices are right!  SO, put on your gold, purple, and green. Don't forget those beads.  It's time for Mardi Gras!

A Slice of Heaven :: In the mood for a Chicago style pizza?  We think you should try out Gusano's Chicago-Style Pizzeria.  The first NWA location is located on Walton Blvd. in Bentonville, but there is a new location in Bella Vista.  Not only do they make a mean pizza, they also serve fresh salads, signature sandwiches and wraps- something for everyone!  With their big screen TV's and the cold beverages, every day feels like a game day!  We can't forget about the daily drink specials, the fantastic service, and the lounge (at the Bentonville location) providing live entertainment on the weekends.  Gusano's is the perfect place for your girls night or for a night out with your man!
