Shut out of Valentine's Day dinner reservations? Last-minute alternatives save the day

For couples who waited too long to book a Valentine's Day dinner reservation, the scramble is on — but luckily, experts say it might not be too late to make the holiday special.

Dining out remains one of the most popular ways Americans celebrate Valentine’s Day. At least 21% plan to go out for a meal, whether they’re in a relationship or not, according to a new YouGov survey. Among couples, that number rises to 32%. But with more than half of partnered Americans planning to celebrate in some way, competition for tables can be fierce.
