Bad Valentine's Day Gifts
Chocolate is the ultimate aphrodisiac: melt it and lick it off your partner's body or feed it to each other romantically. You can never go wrong with chocolate! Right? Wrong! The following are chocolate no–nos this V–Day.
Review: Foals—"Holy Fire"
Four minutes into Foals’ new album, “Holy Fire,” the instrumental build–up of pounding drums and plunging guitar strings in “Prelude” establishes an atmospheric vibe that strongly resembles their previous hit, “Spanish Sahara.” The resemblance ends as soon as “Inhaler” begins.

Guilty Pleasure: Mariah Carey—"Always Be My Baby"
Choosing a favorite Mariah Carey song is a doozy (after all, she’s been around since before Britney and has a repertoire to match), but mine would have to be the 1996 winner “Always Be My Baby.” Maybe it has to do with that instantly identifiable opening guitar strum, but “Always Be My Baby” is one of those songs that everyone can recognize, but not everyone can name.

In the U.S., Valentine's Day is all about love, romance and gag–inducing frilly pink hearts—but around the world, February 14 is also a time to celebrate that other kind of love: friendship. Here at Street, we really dig that idea, so grab your BFFs and treat yourselves to a fun night out. Pro tip: candlelit Italian restaurants are full of couples. Get more creative.
Review: "Safe Haven"
Directed by: Lasse Hallstroem Starring: Julianne Hough, Josh Duhamel Rating: PG-13 Running Time: 115 The newest Nicholas Sparks movie, “Safe Haven,” is part of a proud legacy of romantic melodrama that includes “A Walk to Remember” and “The Notebook.” But “Safe Haven” doesn’t live up to its predecessors: this time, Sparks gives us a total dud.
Blind Date: Valentine's Day Edition
F&D decided to play cupid, Street style. In lieu of heart–shaped balloons and chocolate covered strawberries, we sent Gary Kafer and Stephen Masso to dinner at The Corner to check out its laidback vibe, enhanced comfort food, and one another.
