Valentine’s Day is a perfect time to show your sweetheart just what they mean to you with a romantic dinner, chocolates and flowers, or even a home-cooked meal in your The Isle apartment. But what if you’re going stag this year? That doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy the spirit of the holiday by showing your closest friends some love—and lots of fun!—with a night out on the town right near Manayunk.

There are tons of ways to spend Valentine’s Day making memories with your crew, including at Twisted Sign in nearby Roxborough. The BYOB arts studio offers a wide range of DIY classes to help you get in touch with your creative side—and have tons of fun while doing it! Here’s how it works: Visitors pick a canvas from a collection of rustic wooden signs and then get to work making it completely customized. Painters pick out a saying or design from the studio’s gallery or can even have Twisted Sign create a personalized stencil (make sure to call ahead for this option!). Use whatever colors and patterns you like to make the design all your own. Completed signs are the perfect new addition to the décor in your The Isle apartment and also make great gifts if you’re looking to put a personal touch on your next gift-giving occasion.

All classes are BYOB, so feel free to bring along your favorite beer or wine, as well as snacks (make sure to pack some plates and cups!). (And since the studio is only one mile from your The Isle apartment, you can stroll over and not have to worry about driving home!) You can bring along as many people as you’d like—and if you want the whole space to yourself, make sure to gather up at least eight people in your party. Whether you’re with a big group or it’s just you and a friend, with the drinks flowing and the conversation abounding, the creativity will also start to flow—making for a memorable Valentine’s Day!
